Publication number: 20230066729Abstract: This invention relates to a substrate processing technique for performing a pressure increasing step, a pressure keeping step and a pressure reducing step in this order in a processing container. A flow rate of a processing fluid in a processing space is suppressed to a second flow rate lower than a first flow rate while maintaining the processing space at a first pressure between the pressure increasing step and the pressure keeping step or in an initial stage of the pressure keeping step. In this way, the mutual diffusion between the processing fluid and a liquid in the processing space is promoted. After this diffusion proceeds, the substrate is dried by the discharge of the processing fluid from the processing space.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2022Publication date: March 2, 2023Inventors: Zhida WANG, Koji ANDO, Noritake SUMI, Chiaki MORIYA, Daiki UEHARA

Patent number: 10903092Abstract: Pure water, a mixed solution, and an organic solvent are applied to a substrate in this order. The organic solvent is then removed by rotation. The mixed solution is a mixture of pure water and the organic solvent, and has a surface tension lower than that of the pure water. Since the mixed solution has a solubility in pure water, which is higher than that of the organic solvent, local drying on the upper surface becomes less likely at an interface between the mixed solution and the pure water, which suppresses collapse of pattern elements. Since the temperature of the substrate is raised by the mixed solution having a temperature higher than room temperature, it is possible to reduce the time required for a process related to drying.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2017Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Inventors: Hitoshi Nakai, Koji Ando
