At this time, the chuck pin 47 is in the open position. After being loaded into the substrate processing apparatus 1, the substrate W is placed on the placement portion 47 ⁇ / b> A of the chuck pin 47.
- the chuck pin 47 is moved from the open position to the closed position. Accordingly, the peripheral edge of the substrate W is pressed by the contact portion 47B of the chuck pin 47, and the substrate W is held by the chuck pin 47.
- the chuck pin 47 is driven and controlled by the chuck pin driving mechanism control unit 123 of the control mechanism 100.

- the spin base rotation mechanism 55 is driven and controlled by the spin base rotation mechanism control unit 124 of the control mechanism 100.
- the processing liquid is discharged from the first nozzle 10 onto the main surface of the substrate W.
- the process here includes, for example, a cleaning process in a broad sense such as removal of contaminants on the main surface of the substrate W and removal of residues such as a resist adhering to the main surface of the substrate W.
- Treatment liquid is selected according to the purpose and properties of cleaning.
- a processing liquid suitable for cleaning the substrate W with the brush 30 As such a treatment liquid, for example, DIW, weakly acidic, weakly alkaline chemical liquid, or the like is used, but SC1, SC2, etc. may be used depending on the nature and state of removing dirt and residues. Further, depending on the nature and state of the resist residue, sulfuric acid / hydrogen peroxide may be used.
- the first nozzle 10 discharges the processing liquid toward the center of the main surface of the substrate W.
- the processing liquid receives a centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the substrate W, and spreads in the radially outer direction of the substrate W.
- the processing liquid may be discharged from the first nozzle 10 having the discharge port 10 ⁇ / b> A disposed above the central portion of the main surface of the substrate W toward the central portion of the main surface of the substrate W.
- the 1st nozzle 10 which has 10 A of discharge outlets arrange
- the processing liquid may be discharged toward the head.
- the processing liquid may be discharged in an inclined state with respect to the main surface of the substrate W from the discharge port 10 ⁇ / b> A of the first nozzle 10 so that the processing liquid is deposited on the center of the substrate W.
- the brush 30 is moved upward by a minute distance (several mm to several cm) by the arm moving mechanism 60.
- the brush 30 is moved integrally with the head 51.

- the cleaning start position by the brush 30 is near the center of the substrate W.
- the region in the vicinity of the central portion of the substrate W is also a region in the vicinity of the intersecting position where the main surface of the substrate W and the rotation axis AX of the substrate W intersect.
- the cleaning start position by the brush 30 is the most central portion of the substrate W in the radial direction of the substrate W in the region of the peripheral edge of the substrate W where brush cleaning is performed. It will be a close position.
- the film thickness reduction region R may occur in the rotation downstream adjacent region DR adjacent to the contact region AR from the downstream side (see also FIG. 4). In the film thickness reduction region R, the liquid of the processing liquid is cut off or the film thickness of the liquid film of the processing liquid becomes smaller than an allowable range. In STEP 4, the processing liquid is discharged from the second nozzle 20 toward a predetermined position, thereby suppressing the occurrence of the film thickness reduction region R.

Distribution is shown. 6A to 6C show the film thickness distribution on the main surface of the substrate W on the rotating downstream adjacent region DR side.
- the substrate W is rotating, and the processing liquid is discharged from the first nozzle 10 toward the central portion of the main surface of the substrate W.
- the discharged processing liquid flows from the radially inner region of the substrate W toward the radially outer region of the substrate W due to the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the substrate W.
- the action of centrifugal force is stronger in the radially outer region of the substrate W than in the radially inner region of the substrate W. Further, the area in the circumferential direction of the substrate W to be covered with the processing liquid is larger in the radially outer region of the substrate W than in the radially inner region of the substrate W. Therefore, the film thickness of the processing liquid film formed on the peripheral edge of the substrate W tends to be smaller than the film thickness of the processing liquid film formed on the central portion of the substrate W.
- the side surface on the upstream side of the brush 30 faces the rotation of the substrate W and the flow of the processing liquid. Therefore, the processing liquid is blocked by the upstream side surface of the brush 30.

- the processing liquid discharged from the first nozzle 10 is supplemented with the processing liquid discharged from the second nozzle 20.
- the second nozzle 20 is configured to replenish the processing liquid in the rotation downstream adjacent region DR. Therefore, the second nozzle 20 can replenish the treatment liquid toward an arbitrary position in the rotation downstream adjacent region DR, for example, the target position X (see FIG. 4) included in the film thickness reduction region R.
- the processing liquid discharged toward the target position X is slightly spread around the target position X (see FIG. 4) and then discharged to the outside of the substrate W.
- the processing liquid supplied from the second nozzle 20 can be replenished to the region between the lower surface of the brush 30 and the main surface of the substrate W. Therefore, replenishing the processing liquid with the second nozzle 20 is also effective in suppressing damage to the main surface of the substrate W due to the formation of the film thickness reduction region R or the like.
- STEP5 Sliding of the brush 30>
- the brush 30 is moved along the radial direction of the substrate W from the cleaning start position while being in contact with the main surface of the substrate W.

Abstract
Description
この基板処理方法によれば、第1ノズル(10)から基板(W)の主面に処理液を吐出する第1吐出工程に並行して、第2ノズル(20)から下流隣接領域(DR)に処理液が吐出される。これにより、下流隣接領域(DR)に処理液が補充される。
<基板処理装置1の構成>
図1は、本発明の一実施形態に係る基板処理装置1の構成を示す模式図である。
<基板処理装置1の動作>
次に、基板処理装置1の動作を説明する。図5は、本実施形態に係る基板処理装置1による基板Wの処理工程を説明するためのフローチャートである。
<STEP1:基板Wの搬入>
先ず、図示しない基板搬送機構により、基板Wが基板処理装置1内に搬入される。このとき、チャックピン47は、開位置に位置している。基板処理装置1内に搬入された後、基板Wは、チャックピン47の載置部47Aに載置される。
<STEP2:第1ノズル10による処理液の供給>
次に、第1ノズル10から基板Wの主面に処理液が吐出される。ここでの処理は、たとえば、基板Wの主面の汚染物の除去や、基板Wの主面に付着したレジスト等の残渣の除去等の広義の洗浄処理を含む。
<STEP3:ブラシ30の洗浄開始位置への移動>
第1ノズル10による処理液の吐出開始の後またはこれと並行して、ブラシ30が、スピンベース115外の退避位置から基板Wの主面の洗浄開始位置に移動される。
<STEP4:第2ノズル20による処理液の供給>
前述のように、当接領域ARに下流側から隣接した回転下流隣接領域DRでは、膜厚低下領域Rが生ずるおそれがある(図4も併せて参照)。膜厚低下領域Rでは、処理液の液切れが生じるか、または、処理液の液膜の膜厚が許容範囲を超えて小さくなる。STEP4では、第2ノズル20から所定位置に向けて処理液を吐出することにより、膜厚低下領域Rの発生を抑制する。
<STEP5:ブラシ30の摺動>
STEP5では、ブラシ30が、基板Wの主面に当接した状態で、洗浄開始位置から基板Wの径方向に沿って移動される。ブラシ30は、基板Wの所定の範囲を摺動される。基板Wの所定の範囲とは、基板Wにおいて洗浄を予定している領域である。
流量L=C0*(C1+C2*D)…(2)
上記の式(1)および(2)において、「D」は、平面視における基板Wの回転中心およびブラシ30の間の距離(「D」≧0)であってもよい。この場合、基板Wの回転中心が零点である。
<STEP6:ブラシ30の退避位置への移動>
ブラシ30による洗浄が終了した後、ブラシ30が、スピンベース115の周囲に設けられた退避位置に移動される。より具体的には、ブラシ30が、アーム移動機構60によって基板Wの主面から微小距離(数mmから数cm)だけ上方に移動される。その後、ブラシ30が、退避位置に移動される。
<STEP7:基板Wの搬出>
ブラシ30が退避位置に移動した後、基板Wが、基板処理装置1外に搬出される。基板Wの搬出工程では、たとえばブラシ30が退避位置に移動した後、チャックピン47が閉位置から開位置に移動される。
