[Prior Art] - a film for performing a specific function on a substrate to be processed (a wafer or a glass substrate), such as an oxide film or a metal, in a manufacturing process of a semiconductor device or a flat panel display (FPD) A film, a semiconductor film, or the like is patterned in a desired shape, and a photosensitive material that reacts with a light source is applied to the film. As described above, in order to form a specific circuit pattern on a film of a substrate to be processed, a photosensitive liquid coating photosensitive layer is applied, and the photosensitive film is exposed corresponding to the circuit pattern, by developing the exposed portion or the unexposed portion. It is removed. The above series of processes are referred to as a photo step or a photolithography step. In the photographic step, the photosensitive film must be uniformly formed with a specific thickness, otherwise, defects may occur in the manufacturing steps. For example, in the portion where the thickness of the photosensitive film is larger than the standard value _ Å, the amount of (4) is much larger than the desired etching amount of the film when the thickness of the photosensitive film is less than the standard value. Thus, in order to form a photosensitive film having a uniform thickness on the substrate to be processed, it is important to first apply the photosensitive liquid to the substrate to be processed with a uniform thickness. Therefore, in the case of a glass substrate, a non-rotation coating 133731.doc 200914155 coating method or a slit coating method is used, which is formed in a state in which a substrate is supported on a surface plate. a slit nozzle that discharges a slit of the photosensitive liquid in a direction across the substrate, moves along the direction perpendicular to the direction in which the slit is formed, and simultaneously applies a photosensitive liquid to the surface of the substrate by the slit . Figure 1 is a perspective view of a prior slit coater in accordance with a non-rotating coating process.
