  • Patent number: 11664249
    Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus includes a nozzle for discharging a processing solution, a processing solution supply part for supplying the processing solution to the nozzle and a controller. The processing solution supply part includes a tank, a first conduit for guiding the processing solution from the tank to the nozzle, a pump installed in the first conduit, and a filter having first and second spaces, and a filtering member for separating between the first space and the second space. The controller performs a first control process of controlling the processing solution supply part to flow the processing solution from the first space to the second space through the filtering member by the pump, and after the first control process, a second control process of controlling the processing solution supply part to flow the processing solution from the second space to the first space through the filtering member by the pump.

  • Patent number: 11567444
    Abstract: A developing treatment apparatus for performing a developing treatment on a treatment object substrate. The developing treatment apparatus includes: a rotating and holding part that holds and rotates the treatment object substrate; a discharger that discharges a predetermined solution relating to the developing treatment to the treatment object substrate held on the rotating and holding part; and a destaticizer that supplies ions ionized by an X-ray to the predetermined solution discharged to the treatment object substrate held on the rotating and holding part, to destaticize the predetermined solution.
