  • Patent number: 10160012
    Abstract: A cup intermediate portion and a cup lower portion surround a substrate. The cup intermediate portion is arranged above an upper surface of the cup lower portion. A sidewall surrounds the cup intermediate portion and the cup lower portion. A spacing between the upper surface of the cup lower portion and a lower surface of the cup intermediate portion gradually decreases outward from an outer peripheral portion of the substrate while a clearance is formed between the lower surface of the cup intermediate portion and the upper surface of the cup lower portion in respective outer peripheral portions of the cup intermediate portion and the cup lower portion. An inner peripheral surface of the sidewall is spaced apart from the clearance outside the clearance and surrounds the clearance.

  • Patent number: 8286293
    Abstract: A cleaning processing unit includes a spin chuck for horizontally holding a substrate and rotating the substrate around the vertical axis passing through the center of the substrate. A bevel cleaner is disposed outside the spin chuck. The bevel cleaner includes a cleaning brush. The cleaning brush has a shape that is symmetric about its vertical axis, and has an upper bevel cleaning surface, an end surface cleaning surface, and a lower bevel cleaning surface. The end surface cleaning surface is a cylindrical surface having its axis in the vertical direction. The upper bevel cleaning surface extends out from and is inclined upward from the upper end of the end surface cleaning surface, and the lower bevel cleaning surface extends out from and is inclined downward from the lower end of the end surface cleaning surface.

  • Patent number: 8166985
    Abstract: When a substrate is subjected to bevel cleaning processing, a first magnet plate is arranged at a lower position, and a second magnet plate is arranged at an upper position. In this case, each of chuck pins enters a closed state in a region outside the first magnet plate, while entering an opened state in a region outside the second magnet plate. That is, a holder in each of the chuck pins is maintained in contact with an outer edge of the substrate when it passes through the region outside the first magnet plate, while being spaced apart from the outer edge of the substrate when it passes through the region outside the second magnet plate.
