Patent number: 11610790Abstract: A supply flow passage branches into a plurality of upstream flow passages. The plurality of upstream flow passages include a branching upstream flow passage that branches into a plurality of downstream flow passages. A plurality of discharge ports are respectively disposed at a plurality of positions differing in distance from a rotational axis and discharge processing liquids, supplied via the plurality of upstream flow passages, toward an upper surface of a substrate held by a substrate holding unit.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2021Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Inventors: Kenji Kobayashi, Jun Sawashima, Yuta Nishimura, Akito Hatano, Motoyuki Shimai, Toyohide Hayashi

Patent number: 11410863Abstract: A substrate processing device is provided with: a spin base disposed below a substrate grasped by a plurality of chuck members, the spin base transmitting the drive force of a spin motor to the chuck members; and a nozzle for supplying a processing fluid for processing the substrate to the top surface and/or bottom surface of the substrate. An IH heating mechanism of the substrate processing device has: a heat-generating member disposed between the substrate and the spin base; a heating coil disposed below the spin base; and an IH circuit for supplying electric power to the heating coil, whereby an alternating magnetic field applied to the heat-generating member is generated, and the heat-generating member is caused to generate heat.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2017Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Inventors: Motoyuki Shimai, Toyohide Hayashi, Akito Hatano

Patent number: 10403517Abstract: A supply flow passage branches into a plurality of upstream flow passages. A plurality of discharge ports are respectively disposed at a plurality of positions differing in distance from a rotational axis of a substrate. Hydrogen peroxide water, that is one of components of a chemical liquid (SPM), is supplied to the upstream flow passage from a component liquid flow passage. A mixing ratio changing unit including a plurality of first flow control valves and a plurality of second flow control valves independently changes mixing ratios of sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide water included in the chemical liquid to be discharged from the plurality of discharge ports for each of the upstream flow passages.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2016Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: SCREEN Holdings Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kenji Kobayashi, Jun Sawashima, Yuta Nishimura, Akihiro Nakashima, Motoyuki Shimai, Akito Hatano
