Patent number: 11961744Abstract: In a chamber, first processing is performed as preliminary processing. After the first processing has been finished, the temperature in a predetermined target region in the chamber is measured with a thermographic camera. Then, whether or not to start second processing on a substrate is determined in accordance with the acquired measured temperature information. If it is determined as a result that the second processing can be started, the second processing is performed. In this case, the second processing on the substrate can be started, with the temperature of the target region in the chamber having reached its stability. Accordingly, the second processing can be performed uniformly on a plurality of substrates. That is, it is possible to reduce variations in processing caused by temperature environments in the chamber.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2019Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: SCREEN Holdings Co., Ltd.Inventors: Eiji Fukatsu, Koji Hashimoto, Hiroyuki Fujiki, Masafumi Inoue
