  • Publication number: 20150371853
    Abstract: A coating treatment apparatus supplying a coating solution to a front surface of a rotated substrate and diffusing the supplied coating solution to an outer periphery side of the substrate to thereby apply the coating solution on the front surface of the substrate includes: a substrate holding part holding a substrate; a rotation part rotating the substrate held on the substrate holding part; a supply part supplying a coating solution to a front surface of the substrate held on the substrate holding part; and an airflow control plate provided at a predetermined position above the substrate held on the substrate holding part for locally changing an airflow above the substrate rotated by the rotation part at an arbitrary position.

  • Publication number: 20150214046
    Abstract: There is provided a periphery coating method of coating a coating liquid on a periphery region of a substrate. The method includes performing a scan-in process of moving the coating liquid nozzle from an outside of an edge of the substrate to a position above the periphery region of the substrate while rotating the substrate and discharging the coating liquid from the coating liquid nozzle; and performing a scan-out process of moving the coating liquid nozzle from the position above the periphery region of the substrate to the outside of the edge of the substrate while rotating the substrate and discharging the coating liquid from the coating liquid nozzle. Further, in the scan-out process, the coating liquid nozzle is moved at a speed lower than a speed at which the coating liquid is moved to a side of an edge of the substrate.

  • Patent number: 9027508
    Abstract: A periphery coating unit performs a scan-in process of moving a resist liquid nozzle 27 from an outside of an edge Wb of a wafer W to a position above a periphery region Wc of the wafer W while rotating the wafer W and discharging a resist liquid from the resist liquid nozzle 27; and a scan-out process of moving the resist liquid nozzle 27 from the position above the periphery region Wc of the wafer W to the outside of the edge Wb of the wafer W while rotating the wafer W and discharging the resist liquid from the resist liquid nozzle 27. Further, in the scan-out process, the resist liquid nozzle 27 is moved at a speed v2 lower than a speed v3 at which the resist liquid is moved to a side of the edge Wb of the wafer W.

  • Patent number: 8940649
    Abstract: A coating treatment method includes: a first step of rotating a substrate at a first rotation number; a second step of rotating the substrate at a second rotation number being slower than the first rotation number; a third step of rotating the substrate at a third rotation number being faster than the second rotation number and slower than the first rotation number; a fourth step of rotating the substrate at a fourth rotation number being slower than the third rotation number; and a fifth step of rotating the substrate at a fifth rotation number being faster than the fourth rotation number. A supply of a coating solution to a central portion of the substrate is continuously performed from the first step to a middle of the second step or during the first step, and the fourth rotation number is more than 0 rpm and 500 rpm or less.
