  • Publication number: 20250100023
    Abstract: A solvent supply unit of a substrate processing device is disposed at a position higher than an opening of an upper surface of a processing tank, and supplies a mist-like solvent from an outside of the processing tank toward an inside of the processing tank in plan view. When a substrate is immersed in processing liquid, a control unit performs a solvent supply operation of decompressing an inside of the chamber and supplying the mist-like solvent from the solvent supply unit. In a solvent supply state in which the inside of the chamber is decompressed and the solvent is supplied, the control unit causes a lifter to take out the substrate from the processing liquid in the processing tank, and then opens a QDR valve to discharge the processing liquid from the processing tank. In the solvent supply state, the control unit causes the lifter to lower the substrate to a lower position in the processing tank in which the processing liquid is not stored, and then causes the lifter to raise the substrate.
