Abstract

Provided is a method and apparatus for treating a substrate with a liquid. The substrate treating method comprises a pre-treating step for supplying the treatment liquid containing hydrogen fluoride (HF) to the substrate and treating the substrate before the surface modification step and a surface modification step for supplying an alkene-based chemical onto a substrate to change the surface of the substrate to a hydrophobic state. As a result, the surface of the substrate is uniform, and generation of particles can be reduced when the substrate is removed.

Claims (9)

1. A method for treating a substrate to change a surface of the substrate from a hydrophilic state to a hydrophobic state, comprising:

a pre-treating step for supplying a treatment liquid containing hydrogen fluoride (HF) to the substrate and treating the substrate;

a surface modification step for supplying an alkene-based chemical onto a substrate after the pre-treating step to change the surface of the substrate from the hydrophilic state to the hydrophobic state;

a rinsing step for supplying a rinsing liquid to the substrate and treating the substrate after the surface modification step; and

a replacement step for supplying an organic solvent to the substrate after the rinsing step to replace the rinsing liquid remaining on the substrate.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein in the surface modification step, the chemical radically reacts with the surface of the substrate.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the radical reaction is generated by irradiating the substrate with ultraviolet light.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the radical reaction is generated by heating the substrate.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein a temperature of the substrate is 200° C. or less, and a treating time of the surface modification step is within 2 minutes.
