  • Patent number: 11948804
    Abstract: A substrate processing method includes preparing a phosphoric acid processing liquid, etching a substrate and increasing a concentration of the precipitation inhibitor. The phosphoric acid processing liquid is prepared by supplying a precipitation inhibitor into a phosphoric acid aqueous solution. The substrate having a silicon oxide film and a silicon nitride film is etched by immersing the substrate in a processing tub. The concentration of the precipitation inhibitor is increased by additionally supplying the precipitation inhibitor into the phosphoric acid processing liquid when a number of substrates etched has reached a first threshold value or when a silicon concentration in the phosphoric acid processing liquid has reached a second threshold value. The etching of the substrate comprises etching a new substrate by immersing the new substrate in the processing tub in which the phosphoric acid processing liquid with the increased concentration of the precipitation inhibitor is stored.

  • Publication number: 20210366740
    Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus includes: a processing container, a mixing device, a liquid feeding path, and a controller. The processing container processes a substrate by immersing the substrate in a processing liquid. The mixing device mixes a phosphoric acid aqueous solution and an additive, to produce a mixed liquid to be used as a raw material of the processing liquid. The liquid feeding path feeds the mixed liquid from the mixing device to the processing container. The controller controls the substrate processing apparatus. The controller performs a control to feed the mixed liquid from the mixing device to the processing container in which the substrate is immersed, after a phosphoric acid concentration of the mixed liquid is regulated from a first concentration to a second concentration higher than the first concentration. The first concentration is a concentration when the phosphoric acid aqueous solution is supplied to the mixing device.
