  • Patent number: 7754619
    Abstract: A method of forming a liquid coating on a substrate that reduces the amount of consumption of the coating liquid and achieves a more even distribution of the thickness of the liquid coating film. The method may include supplying a solvent to a surface of a substrate, starting a supply of a coating liquid to the surface of the substrate while rotating the substrate at a first rotation speed, stopping a rotation of the substrate by decelerating the rotation of the substrate at a deceleration larger than 30000 rpm/sec at a point of time when the supply of the coating liquid is stopped, and then rotating the substrate at a second rotation speed. Accordingly, the dispense amount of the coating liquid is reduced and the film thickness of the coating liquid is flatten.

  • Patent number: 6033728
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for spin coating for forming a resist film, an SOG film, a polyimide film, and the like in manufacturing semiconductor devices and has the object of forming a coated film with a specified and uniform thickness even in case that an amount of discharged coating solution is a little. An apparatus for spin coating of the invention comprises a rotatable table for placing a wafer, a coating solution discharging means which is set above the rotatable table and discharges a coating solution on the surface of the wafer, and a solvent discharging means which is above the rotatable table and discharges a solvent capable of dissolving the coating solution.

  • Patent number: 5733182
    Abstract: A polishing apparatus comprises a pressure container having a first opening at its bottom and being rotatable about an axis perpendicular to a plane of the first opening; a wafer support coupled elastically to the first opening, sealing the first opening hermetically and having a wafer supporting surface; and a lower surface plate disposed underneath the wafer supporting surface and having a polishing surface approximately parallel to the wafer supporting surface. The wafer support may be provided with flatness adjusting means for selectively applying a larger pressure on a region of the wafer held on the wafer supporting surface than a pressure on other region. The flatness adjusting means may comprise a plurality of pressing pins, or may comprise a hollow within the wafer support, a surface plate having elasticity and sealing the hollow, and means for applying pressure to the hollow. Wafer can be polished under uniform pressure applied on the back surface. Flatness of the wafer can be improved.
