The upper end portion of the developer D under the substrate 2 to 500 transport substrate G flows from the curtain-like airflow blown by the substrate transport direction. It will break the airflow toward the substrate transport direction from the upper end portion of the developer D flowing down from the substrate G, as shown in the figure (°2'θ because the range is enlarged (and the thin S1 at the rear side of the substrate is S1: /S) (4) The flow rate with a small impulse is supplied to the substrate G to the rinsing liquid f fi^+5(b), and the rinsing liquid which is formed on the substrate and the developing solution D (the thin film portion D2) is not separated by a too long distance. The thin film portion S1 of 8, the thin portion D2 of the developing solution D and the film body of the rinsing liquid s have a small width in the substrate transport direction of the region E, which is not correct, and, The effect of the plaque is affected. The thick film portion S2 which is not smashed, and the liquid s is washed out. The thin film portion S1 between the rinsing liquid S is transported to the third transporting zone (10). The top surface of the substrate G is completely stopped as shown in Fig. 5 (4). The developing solution and the rinsing liquid in the front are collected by the chassis 。. The processing liquid on the soil plate G is replaced with the developing solution D into the rinsing liquid, s 16 201032267 2 The curtain-like airflow blown by the air nozzle 21 flows from the inclined surface of the substrate. • The developer D extending to the substrate is extended. In the vicinity of the portion Ga, the rz/mouth 22 is directly supplied to the vicinity of the substrate ridge portion Ga to supply the rinsing liquid s. Therefore, the enthalpy removes the liquid, and can be developed on the substrate in an uninterrupted manner. The liquid D is replaced with the rinsing liquid s. ς 'With the curtain air flow, the first rinsing nozzle 22 circulates the rinsing liquid 22 and does not flow to the opposite side of the conveying direction (the second conveying interval Μ 2), so There is almost no mixing between the hood liquid D and the rinsing liquid S. (4) There is no time for the developer sputum to be left in a state where the developer sputum flows and remains in a spot like the conventional technique, so that generation of development spots can be suppressed. , charm, ϋί?? *21 sprayed curtain airflow, toward the substrate transport direction (downstream illusion i't shirt liquid D does not ripple, can suppress the generation of small development spots. ^ Processed substrate G, By the horizontal fourth transport section leg, the upper slanting section M5 climbs up the ascending oblique path of the second ridge 2b. At this time, the upper replacement rinsing liquid moves downward from the front end side of the substrate by gravity, and then descends. Furthermore, the rinsing liquid supplied from the upper rinsing nozzle 24 on the substrate G' The old rinsing liquid is washed away, and the rinsing liquid which is dropped from the base flow to the rear of the substrate is collected by the chassis 17. If the apex of the substrate G is left, a thin liquid for washing the rinsing liquid remains on the top surface thereof. In the film=state, the descending inclined path spans to the second raised portion 2b (the sixth transporting step), when the substrate G moves downward in the descending inclined path (M6) of the second raised portion 2b, the upper flushing nozzle 25 is on the substrate. G supply ^ jj = odd rinse liquid (4) ground - the first wash on the substrate G flows down from the front end of the substrate. The rinse liquid that flows down to the front of the substrate G is the substrate of the substrate G. 'The seventh round of the horizontal M7' climbs up the rising and lowering of the step 2c in the next eighth transport section M8. At this time, the processing rinsing liquid previously on the substrate G flows downward from the substrate side by the gravity of the substrate θ 17 201032267 and flows downward from the rear end of the substrate. Further, the upper rinsing nozzle 26 supplies the rinsing liquid for the final washing on the slab G, and the new rinsing liquid pushes the old rinsing & and flows down from the rear end of the substrate together. The rinsing liquid flowing down to the rear of the substrate G is collected by the chassis 17. Then, when the high-lower difference portion 2c on the substrate enters the upper conveyance path of the ninth conveyance section M9 on the side of the drying section 5, the air knife 2 吹 blows the turbulent airflow in the opposite direction to the direction of the rotation of the substrate G, thereby The rinsing liquid remaining on the substrate G is pushed toward the rear of the slab and blown out from the rear end of the substrate (liquid removal). The rinse liquid from the substrate G is collected by the chassis 17.美 美 The slab G which completes a series of development processing steps in the developing unit (DEV) 1 as described above is linearly moved on the transport path 2 and sent to the processing unit of the subsequent stage. As described above, in the embodiment of the present invention, the developing solution D is supplied and the flat disk is fed by the air jet 21 _ straight direction or the transporting mi direction is blown to the screen substrate G which is filament-shaped extending in the substrate width direction. The front end portion (upstream side) of the developer D to be removed is directly used by the first rinse nozzle 22 to the surface of the substrate on which the Hi' liquid D is removed. When the mouth is spit out, the impulse is large. = The position of the point is lowered. The developing solution D is flowing like the conventional technique. The residual spot 9 and the solid state are the air knife and the first flush. The mouthpiece 22 and the second flushing mouthpiece 23 are disposed in the i-th raised portion, and the === the curtain-like high pressure from the substrate to the developer = nozzle m1 rinse jet = 3⁄4 shadow = From the air knife 21 18 201032267, the air knife 21 and the first flush nozzle 22 are separately provided in this embodiment, but may be provided in an integrated configuration. The pressure of each of the nozzles is the same as that of the nozzles. The nozzles are extended toward the width of the substrate. The nozzles are not limited to this. In the case where the plurality of nozzles (for example, the nozzles of the spray nozzles) are ejected in the width direction of the substrate, the ejection flow rate is limited, so that the first flushing nozzle is vomited, and the first flushing nozzle 23 is discharged, and the impulse is smaller. The nozzle shape of the medium-sized washing nozzle 23 is the same, and the raw material (salt) of the substrate processing apparatus of the present invention can be used for the y (a) to (b).
