Abstract: One of a setting dissolved oxygen concentration and a setting atmosphere oxygen concentration is determined based on a required etching amount. Thereafter, based on the required etching amount and the one of the determined setting dissolved oxygen concentration and setting atmosphere oxygen concentration, the other of the setting dissolved oxygen concentration and the setting atmosphere oxygen concentration is determined. A low oxygen gas whose oxygen concentration is equal or approached to the determined setting atmosphere oxygen concentration flows into a chamber that houses a substrate. Furthermore, an etching liquid whose dissolved oxygen is reduced such that its dissolved oxygen concentration is equal or approached to the determined setting dissolved oxygen concentration is supplied to the entire region of the upper surface of the substrate held horizontally.

Abstract: A sheet-like article (1) for an absorbent article of the invention includes a plurality of absorbent units (4), each including a long base portion (2) and water-absorbent polymer particles (3) fixed to a surface of one face of the long base portion (2). In the sheet-like article (1), the absorbent units (4) are arranged such that their longitudinal direction is oriented in one direction. Before the water-absorbent polymer particles (3) absorb a liquid, the water-absorbent polymer particles (3) are located inward of both lateral side edge portions (2s), of the long base portion (2), that extend along the longitudinal direction. When the water-absorbent polymer particles (3) absorb a liquid, the water-absorbent polymer particles (3) swell beyond the lateral side edge portions (2s), of the long base portion (2), that extend along the longitudinal direction, and a position, in the thickness direction, of the long base portion (2) is varied from the position thereof before absorbing the liquid.

Abstract: In a substrate processing apparatus, an outer edge portion of a substrate in a horizontal state is supported from below by an annular substrate supporting part, and a lower surface facing part having a facing surface facing a lower surface of the substrate is provided inside the substrate supporting part. A gas ejection nozzle for ejecting heated gas toward the lower surface is provided in the lower surface facing part, and the substrate is heated by the heated gas when an upper surface of the rotating substrate is processed with a processing liquid ejected from an upper nozzle. Further, a lower nozzle is provided in the lower surface facing part, to thereby perform a processing on the lower surface with a processing liquid. Since the gas ejection nozzle protrudes from the facing surface, a flow of the processing liquid into the gas ejection nozzle can be suppressed during the processing.
