Publication number: 20240085813Abstract: A cleaning method of cleaning a solution treatment apparatus for applying a coating solution onto a substrate, the solution treatment apparatus including a holder holding and rotating the substrate; a coating solution supplier; and an inner cup surrounding the holder from a lateral side and having a peripheral edge side upper surface inclining down outward in a radial direction. The cleaning method includes introducing the cleaning solution to the storage chamber via the introduction hole, discharging the cleaning solution from the discharge port and making the cleaning solution flow down along the peripheral edge side upper surface of the inner cup, thereby cleaning away the coating solution adhering to the peripheral edge side upper surface. The discharging in the cleaning discharges the cleaning solution from discharge ports of the inner cup outward in the radial direction and obliquely upward.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Kenta SHIBASAKI, Hiroichi INADA, Satoshi SHIMMURA, Koji TAKAYANAGI, Kenji YADA, Shinichi SEKI, Akihiro TERAMOTO

Patent number: 11273464Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus includes a cover member placed to surround a substrate held by a rotary holder; a collecting member placed in an exhaust path formed between the cover member and the rotary holder; and a solvent supply placed above the collecting member and configured to supply a solvent to the collecting member. The solvent supply includes an inner storage space surrounding the substrate; an outer storage space surrounding the inner storage space; and a partition wall extending along a circumferential direction to partition the inner storage space and the outer storage space. Multiple communication holes are extended to penetrate the partition wall such that the solvent introduced into the outer storage space flows to the inner storage space. Multiple dripping holes are extended to penetrate a bottom wall of the inner storage space such that the solvent within the inner storage space drops toward the collecting member.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2020Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: TOKYO ELECTRON LIMITEDInventors: Satoshi Shimmura, Yuji Sakai, Kenta Shibasaki, Koji Takayanagi, Kenji Yada, Hiroichi Inada, Shinichi Seki, Kento Ogata
