Abstract

A method of processing a substrate through the use of an apparatus, including a substrate carrier for carrying a substrate; a liquid-applying unit for applying chemical to said substrate; and a gas-applying unit for applying gas atmosphere generated by vaporizing the liquid to said substrate. And the apparatus includes a plurality of process units, and the same process is applied to the substrate in each said process units.

Claims (11)

1. A method of processing a substrate through the use of an apparatus comprising: a substrate carrier for carrying a substrate; a liquid-applying unit for applying liquid to said substrate; a gas-applying unit for applying gas atmosphere generated by vaporizing the liquid to said substrate; and a plurality of process units to apply various processes to the substrate, wherein the processes of applying liquid to said substrate and applying gas atmosphere generated by vaporizing the liquid to said substrate are applied to said substrate in each of said process units.

2. The method as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the same process is applied to said substrate in each of said process units with said substrate being directed in different directions in said process units.

3. The method as set forth in claim 2 , wherein the same process is applied to said substrate in each of said process units with said substrate being directed oppositely in said process units.

4. The method as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the liquid comprises at least one amine selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl amine, diethylhydroxyl amine, diethylhydroxyl amine anhydride, pyridine and picoline in a range of 0.05 to 1.5 weight %.

5. A method of processing a substrate through the use of an apparatus comprising: a substrate carrier for carrying a substrate; a liquid-applying unit for applying liquid to said substrate; and a gas-applying unit for applying gas atmosphere generated by vaporizing the liquid to said substrate, wherein said substrate is processed a plurality of times in a unit with said substrate being directed in different directions in each of times.

6. The method as set forth in claim 5 , wherein said substrate is processed a plurality of times in a unit with said substrate being directed oppositely in each of times.

7. The method as set forth in claim 5 , wherein the liquid comprises at least one amine selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl amine, diethylhydroxyl amine, diethylhydroxyl amine anhydride, pyridine and picoline in a range of 0.05 to 1.5 weight %.

8. A method of processing a substrate through the use of an apparatus comprising: a substrate carrier for carrying a substrate; a liquid-applying unit for applying liquid to said substrate; and a gas-applying unit for applying gas atmosphere generated by vaporizing the liquid to said substrate, wherein said substrate is processed in a unit in a first direction and in a second direction different from said first direction.

9. The method as set forth in claim 8 , wherein said first and second directions are opposite to each other.

10. The method as set forth in claim 9 , wherein said substrate is processed in said gas-applying unit in a first direction and in a second direction different from said first direction.

11. The method as set forth in claim 8 , wherein the liquid comprises at least one amine selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl amine, diethylhydroxyl amine, diethylhydroxyl amine anhydride, pyridine and picoline in a range of 0.05 to 1.5 weight %.
