As described above, inner peripheral surface of the solvent 72 along nozzle incorporating section 51 falls in the shape of a spiral, therefore arranged when increasing incorporating section When exporting 53, solvent 72 is rapidly discharged via incorporating section outlet 53.As a result, from aftermentioned evaluation test also it is understood that When the supply amount of solvent 72 is fewer than first flow, even if attracting solvent 72 into coating nozzle 41A, it is not also inhaled into nozzle It is interior.Therefore, the supply amount of solvent 72 is set as first flow, using the suck back valve VA for constituting attracting mechanism, from coating nozzle The upstream side of flow path 46 in 41 is attracted to suck solvent 72.As described above, solvent 72 is attracted as shown in (a) of Fig. 7 To the coating side nozzle 41A, the liquid film 73 of solvent is formed in the front end of coating nozzle 41A.
In this embodiment, the diameter of incorporating section outlet 53 is 3.6mm, therefore, by the way that first flow is set as 90ml/ points Clock~150ml/ minutes, such as 100ml/ minutes, the first service time is set as such as 1~2 second, it can be in coating nozzle The front end of 41A forms the liquid film 73 of solvent.In addition, it is contemplated that first can be made by the attraction for increasing coating nozzle 41A Flow is less than 90ml/ minutes, and when resist liquid higher using viscosity, resist liquid is liable to stick to coating nozzle 41A's The inner wall of flow path 46.Therefore, when increasing attraction, resist liquid is possible to be broken into aliquot and separate, and exists as described later When applying the liquid layer of inside formation solvent of nozzle 41A, it is easy to mix with the liquid layer of resist liquid, not good method.
Then, it as shown in (d) of Fig. 6, continues with flow path 46 of the suck back valve VA into coating nozzle 41A and is attracted, In the state that the front end for applying nozzle 41A is formed with liquid film 73, from solvent liquid outlet 56 in a manner of being contacted with the liquid film 73 Solvent is supplied with second flow and with for example longer than the first service time the second service time.Second flow is to be able to maintain that The outlet 47 of nozzle 41 is applied by the closed state of solvent, fewer than first flow flow.
As a result, as shown in (b) of Fig. 7, the solvent 72 contacted with liquid film 73 is because of surface tension and into coating nozzle 41A Movement that flow path 46 is attracted and be inhaled into the flow path 46 of coating nozzle 41A.That is, liquid film 73 becomes starting point, it is supplied to spray The solvent 72 of the inner peripheral surface of the reducing diameter part 52 of mouth incorporating section 51 is inhaled into flow path 46 because of surface tension.By being spat with second flow Solvent 72 out are able to maintain that the outlet 47 of coating nozzle 41 by the closed state of solvent, therefore by utilizing surface tension, is being sprayed Mouth incorporating section 51 does not form the hydrops of the solvent of closing incorporating section outlet 53, and solvent can be sucked to coating nozzle 41A.? In the example, the diameter of incorporating section outlet 53 is 3.6mm, therefore the second supply amount is set as 30ml/ minutes~60ml/ points Clock, such as 40ml/ minutes, the second service time is set as such as 6~7 seconds.
First flow, the first service time, second flow and the second service time are the pre- numbers for first passing through experiment to calculate According to.According to the viscosity of resist liquid, the size for the outlet 47 for applying nozzle 41 and outer with the nozzle at 47 corresponding positions of outlet The size of diameter sets the size of the incorporating section outlet 53 of nozzle incorporating section 51, according to the size of the incorporating section outlet 53, fits When calculating first flow, the first service time, second flow and the second service time.
