れる。 FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a resist pattern forming process according to the prior art. First, a resist is applied to a desired thickness onto a substrate to be processed by spin coating. Next, the coating solvent is removed, and the substrate is placed in an oven and baked (prebaked) at a predetermined temperature (Tb) depending on the type of resist to improve adhesion to the substrate. Thereafter, the resist film-coated substrate taken out of the oven is allowed to cool naturally in clean air, and is cooled to about room temperature over 20 to 30 minutes. A resist film-coated substrate to be processed is exposed by selectively irradiating electromagnetic waves in a predetermined wavelength range, such as ultraviolet light, or particle beams with a predetermined energy, such as electron beams, at a predetermined dose depending on the type of resist. Thereafter, a desired resist pattern is formed through a development and rinsing process.

くなり、冷却されやすいことが判明した。 By the way, the inventors used an infrared radiation thermometer to investigate the temperature distribution over the entire surface of the substrate to be processed (resist film) at a certain point during the natural cooling mentioned above.
It was as shown in Figure 2. That is, the substrate to be processed 1
In the upper central part (point A), the temperature is high and it is difficult to cool down.
It was found that the temperature below and around the area (points B and C) is low and is easily cooled.

This is a characteristic corresponding to B and C. The maximum temperature difference between points A and B is about 15℃, and the maximum temperature difference between points A and C is about 30℃.
It was about ℃. The reason why such a temperature distribution occurs is that the substrate to be processed is placed on a support stand during natural cooling, so natural convection due to heat dissipation tends to occur upward along the substrate surface, and the bottom of the substrate is placed on the support stand. It is thought that heat is easily taken away by this.

精度が向上することが見い出された。 Furthermore, the inventors focused on the relationship between the temperature distribution of the substrate (resist film) and pattern accuracy, and measured the dimensions of the formed pattern at temperature measurement points A, B, and C, and found that they were originally the same size (2 μm). The expected pattern has an error of about 0.1 μm at point B and 0.2 μm at point C, which shows that the temperature distribution of the substrate (resist film) and the size distribution of the pattern to be formed are extremely consistent. It was confirmed that, as shown in Figure 5, if the temperature is lowered while the temperature distribution of the substrate (resist film) is uniform, there will be no variation in the cooling rate at each point, and the pattern dimensions will be less uneven and accuracy will be improved. It was.

The film was coated to a predetermined thickness. Thereafter, the resist film was baked (prebaked) in an oven at 200° C. for 30 minutes. After the prebaking was completed, the resist film and the substrate were immersed all at once in a water tank containing pure water at room temperature as a cooling liquid to uniformly cool the resist film through the glass transition temperature (Tg). in this case,

A resist dissolved in a solvent is dropped from the upper jet nozzle 4, and the substrate is rotated to form a resist film on the substrate 1. Next, the substrate 1 is placed on a belt conveyor 5 by a vacuum chuck 2 and introduced into a pre-bake oven 6. A heater 7 for pre-baking is provided inside the oven 6, and a low-speed belt conveyor 8 for conveying the substrate 1 is also provided below the heater 7. When the substrate 1 conveyed by the belt conveyor 5 enters the oven 6, it is transferred to the belt conveyor 8. The substrate 1 is slowly passed through the oven 6 by the belt conveyor 8, and is prebaked by the heater 7 at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time. The prebaked substrate 1 is transferred to the belt conveyor 9, further conveyed, and introduced into the cooling mechanism 10. That is, the substrate 1 conveyed by the belt conveyor 9 is transferred to a conveyance mechanism 11 that can move vertically and horizontally, and is immersed in pure water 13, which is a liquid refrigerant, in a cooling tank 12, and is uniformly cooled.
The cooled substrate 1 is transferred to a belt conveyor 14 by a transport mechanism 11, and is transferred to a rotating sample stage 1 for spin drying.

It is something to do. The cooled substrate 1 is transferred to a belt conveyor 14, dried by a rotating sample stage 15, and then transferred to a belt conveyor 17 by a vacuum chuck 16 and carried out.
