  • Publication number: 20190228991
    Abstract: A substrate cleaning brush for cleaning a wafer includes a brush main body, a brush holding unit, and a main flow path forming body. The brush main body has a liquid permeable structure and includes a lower surface that comes into contact with a substrate. The brush holding unit holds the brush main body while exposing a distal end portion in a vertical direction of the brush main body to the outside. The main flow path forming body includes a main flow path and a plurality of sub flow paths. The main flow path is formed to allow a processing liquid supplied from the outside to pass therethrough. The plurality of sub flow paths branch off from the main flow path, extend outward in a width direction perpendicular to the vertical direction of the brush main body, and are connected to an upper surface of the brush main body.

  • Publication number: 20180261474
    Abstract: While a substrate is being rotated, the lower surface of a brush is moved along the upper surface of the substrate. The brush and a spray nozzle are moved upward from a takeoff position to a lower non-contact position so as to separate the lower surface of the brush from the upper surface of the substrate. The spray nozzle generates the droplets in a state where the brush and the spray nozzle are located in the lower non-contact position so as to make the droplets collide with the upper surface of the substrate, and then the droplets colliding with the upper surface of the substrate are discharged from a gap between the lower surface of the brush and the upper surface of the substrate while the droplets are being supplied to the lower surface of the brush.

  • Patent number: 9324602
    Abstract: Provided is a technique which can properly invert a plurality of substrates at a time. To achieve this object, a substrate inverting apparatus includes: a support mechanism which supports a plurality of substrates in a state where the substrates are stacked vertically in a spaced-apart manner in a horizontal posture; and a clamping and inverting mechanism which clamps the plurality of substrates supported by the support mechanism respectively and inverts the plurality of substrates at a time. In the support mechanism, support members which support the substrate are moved to a standby position from a support position while being moved downward away from the center of the substrate as viewed in the vertical direction. On the other hand, in the clamping and inverting mechanism, clamping members which clamp the substrate are moved to a near position from a remote position by a clamping member drive part and are elastically biased by an elastic member toward side surfaces of the substrate at the near position.
