  • Publication number: 20150323250
    Abstract: A particle can be suppressed from being generated by removing a processing liquid or crystals caused by the processing liquid which adhere to a cover member. A substrate processing apparatus includes a substrate holding unit 3 configured to hold a substrate W; a processing liquid supply unit 7 configured to supply a processing liquid onto the substrate W held in the substrate holding unit 3; and a cover member 5 which has a ring shape and is disposed to face a peripheral portion of the substrate held in the substrate holding unit 3. Further, the cover member 5 is equipped with a heater 701 configured to heat the cover member 5.

  • Publication number: 20140251539
    Abstract: Disclosed are a substrate processing apparatus and a substrate processing method configured to perform a processing of a substrate by a processing liquid, in which the processing liquid is supplied to a substrate which rotates to process the substrate. The substrate processing apparatus includes a substrate rotating unit that rotates the substrate, a processing liquid supply unit that supplies the processing liquid to the substrate, a collection cup disposed around the substrate to collect the processing liquid supplied to the substrate, and form an air stream that flows downward from an opening formed at a top of the collection cup through a periphery of an outside of the substrate, and a negative pressure generating unit which is provided at an inside of the collection cup and at an outside of the opening and generates a negative pressure which acts toward the outside of the substrate.
