  • Patent number: 9922849
    Abstract: Disclosed is a substrate liquid processing apparatus. The substrate liquid processing apparatus includes a processing unit, a nozzle, a silylation liquid supply mechanism, and a blocking fluid supply mechanism. The processing unit performs a water repellency imparting processing on a substrate by supplying a silylation liquid to the substrate. The nozzle includes an ejection port configured to supply the silylation liquid to the substrate positioned in the processing unit, and a silylation liquid flow path in which the silylation liquid flows toward the ejection port. The silylation liquid supply mechanism supplies the silylation liquid to the silylation liquid flow path in the nozzle through a silylation liquid supply line. The blocking fluid supply mechanism supplies a blocking fluid that blocks the silylation liquid within the silylation liquid flow path in the nozzle from an atmosphere outside the ejection port.

  • Publication number: 20120269970
    Abstract: A cleaning method for a film deposition apparatus that deposits a polyimide film conveyed into a film deposition chamber by feeding a first source gas formed of dianhydride and a second source gas formed of diamine into the film deposition chamber, the method including the steps of: generating an oxygen atmosphere in the film deposition chamber, and removing polyimide remaining in the film deposition chamber by heating the film deposition chamber at a temperature of 360° C. to 540° C. in the oxygen atmosphere and oxidizing the polyimide.
