  • Patent number: 10464107
    Abstract: A substrate processing method for removing a resist from a substrate, the substrate comprising a surface layer which has been cured, and having a pattern disposed inside the resist. The method includes an SPM supplying step of supplying an SPM, formed by mixing sulfuric acid and a hydrogen peroxide solution, to the substrate and a liquid temperature increasing step of changing, in parallel to the SPM supplying step, a mixing ratio of the sulfuric acid and the hydrogen peroxide solution used to form the SPM to increase the liquid temperature of the SPM supplied to the substrate in the SPM supplying step.

  • Patent number: 9805938
    Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus includes a rotating holder for a substrate, a first nozzle used to eject a jet flow, a second nozzle used to discharge a continuous flow, and a nozzle moving unit integrally moving the first and second nozzles. A landing position of the continuous flow is located closer to a rotation center than a landing position of the jet flow is. At least movement paths of the landing positions of the jet flow and the continuous flow or flow directions of the continuous flow and the jet flow are different from each other. The movement paths are made to be different from each other by locating the landing position of the continuous flow downstream of the movement path of the landing position of the jet flow. The flow directions are made to be different from each other by tilting the continuous flow.

  • Patent number: 8783521
    Abstract: A flexible and restorable container main body for housing a medicinal solution. A stopper member is fixed in an inside of a medicinal solution passage that communicates with the container main body for discharging the medicinal solution when the container main body is pressed and deformed. A pressure valve is arranged in the medicinal solution passage at a downstream side in the medicinal solution discharge direction further than the stopper member and is formed with an opening having a circular cross section which contacts a tip portion of the stopper member. A biasing member is provided at a downstream side for biasing the pressure valve in a direction opposite to the medicinal solution discharge direction by abutting against a peripheral portion of the opening of the pressure valve.
