Publication number: 20170032983Abstract: A thermal catalytic layer is formed on the inner surface of a processing container and heated. Thus, when a sublimate sublimated from a coating film on a wafer W and received within the processing container reaches the vicinity of the thermal catalytic layer, the sublimate is decomposed and removed by the thermal activation of the thermal catalytic layer. In removing a sublimate attached to a light transmission window, a cleaning substrate formed with the thermal catalytic layer on the surface thereof is carried into the processing container and caused to approach the light transmission window. Thereafter, the cleaning substrate is heated so that the sublimate attached to the surface of the light transmission window is removed.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2016Publication date: February 2, 2017Inventors: Koshi MUTA, Tsuyoshi MORIYA, Takuya MORI, Kazuhiro TAKESHITA, Tomonori ESAKI, Kouichi MIZUNAGA, Masataka TANAKA, Kouzou KANAGAWA, Keigo NAKANO
