  • Patent number: 11699601
    Abstract: A substrate processing device includes a processing tank, a substrate holding unit, a fluid supply unit, and a control unit. The processing tank stores a processing liquid for processing a substrate. The substrate holding unit holds the substrate in the processing liquid in the processing tank. The fluid supply unit supplies a fluid to the processing tank. The control unit controls the fluid supply unit. The control unit controls the fluid supply unit such that the fluid supply unit changes supply of the fluid during a period from a start of supply of the fluid to the processing tank storing the processing liquid in which the substrate is immersed to an end of supply of the fluid to the processing tank storing the processing liquid in which the substrate is immersed.

  • Publication number: 20230121666
    Abstract: At least part of a processing liquid upward flowing in a storage space is split into a plurality of upflows and guided to a substrate held by a substrate holder. Many upflows are widely dispersed and formed in the processing liquid stored in the storage space, and the generation of downflows in the storage space is suppressed. As a result, bubbles are uniformly supplied to the substrate and substrate processing can be performed in high quality.

  • Patent number: 10559480
    Abstract: A substrate treatment apparatus according to the present invention is provided with a first tank that stores treatment liquid for treating a substrate and a first path that returns the treatment liquid, which has spilled over from an upper part of the first tank, to a lower part of the first tank. A second path that branches from the first path, a measurement tank that stores the treatment liquid, which has flowed in from the second path, and a pressure measurement part that measures the pressure of the treatment liquid at a predetermined depth in the measurement tank in a state in which the treatment liquid spills over from an upper part of the measurement tank are provided. Therefore, techniques for highly precisely measuring the pressure of the treatment liquid used in treatment of substrates can be provided.

  • Publication number: 20180277454
    Abstract: A substrate treatment method according to the present invention is a substrate treatment method of treating at least one substrate in a treatment tank with treatment liquid. The substrate treatment method includes the following processes of: acquiring in advance treatment information of the substrate to be treated in the treatment tank; specifying a predicted concentration change pattern corresponding to the acquired treatment information of the substrate by referencing correspondence information describing a plurality of situations possible for the treatment information and a plurality of concentration change patterns of the treatment liquid prepared in advance to respectively correspond to the plurality of situations of the treatment information; and carrying out concentration control of the treatment liquid based on the predicted concentration change pattern while the substrate is treated in the treatment tank.
