Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide an apparatus and method for heat treating a substrate. The substrate processing apparatus includes a support plate having a seating surface on which an upper surface of the substrate is seated and an upper heating member for heating the substrate that is seated on the seating surface above the seating surface, And a moving member for moving the heating plate, wherein the heating plate has a smaller area than the seating surface. As a result, the temperature of each region of the substrate can be uniformly controlled.
Description
The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for heat-treating a substrate.
Various processes such as cleaning, deposition, photolithography, etching, and ion implantation are performed to manufacture semiconductor devices. Among these processes, the photolithography process is largely performed by a coating process, an exposure process, and a developing process. The coating step is a step of applying a photosensitive liquid such as a resist to the surface of the substrate. The exposure process is a process for exposing a circuit pattern on a substrate having a photosensitive film formed thereon. The developing step is a step of selectively developing the exposed region of the substrate. Among them, the coating step includes a baking step of baking the photoresist film applied on the substrate.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view of a device that generally performs a bake process. Referring to Fig. 1, the bake unit includes a

An object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and a method for uniformly controlling the thickness of a liquid film in a bake process of a liquid film.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an apparatus and a method that can prevent a portion of a liquid film from being uneven in temperature compared to other regions due to an airflow.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an apparatus and a method for preventing a part of a liquid film from being uneven in thickness compared to other regions due to a temperature difference in each region of a substrate.
Embodiments of the present invention provide an apparatus and method for heat treating a substrate. The substrate processing apparatus includes a support plate having a seating surface on which an upper surface of the substrate is seated and an upper heating member for heating the substrate that is seated on the seating surface above the seating surface, And a moving member for moving the heating plate, wherein the heating plate has a smaller area than the seating surface.
The bake unit further includes a lower heating member provided on the support plate for heating the seating surface, the moving member supporting the arm supporting the heating plate and the arm, And an elevation shaft that can be elevated and lowered. The bake unit further includes a chamber having a processing space in which the support plate is disposed and an exhaust line connected to an exhaust hole formed in a bottom surface of the chamber and exhausting the atmosphere of the processing space, And the exhaust hole may be arranged to surround the support plate when viewed from above. Wherein the bake unit further comprises a controller for controlling the moving member, wherein the controller controls the heating plate to heat a center region of the substrate and an edge region excluding the center, respectively, wherein a first distance between the center and the heating plate, The moving member may be controlled such that the second distance between the edge region and the heating plate is different from each other. The second distance may be longer than the first distance. The bake unit further includes a controller for controlling the movable member, wherein the controller can control the movable member such that the heating plate selectively heats a portion of the substrate. The portion of the region may include an edge region that is spaced from the central region of the substrate.
A method of baking a substrate is characterized in that a heater located below the substrate heats the entire area of the substrate and a heating plate with a smaller area than the substrate heats a portion of the substrate above the substrate.
The heating of a portion of the substrate may be performed by adjusting a height of the heating plate according to an area of the substrate, wherein the heating plate is moved to a first height toward a center of the substrate, And may be moved to a second height lower than the first height. Also, heating a portion of the substrate may be moved so that the heating plate heats the edge region of the substrate.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the heating plate compensates for the temperature of a portion of the substrate that is lower in temperature than other regions above the substrate. As a result, the temperature of each region of the substrate can be uniformly controlled.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, since the heating plate heats a part of the region so that the temperature of each region of the substrate is uniform, the thickness of the region of the photosensitive film can be uniformly adjusted.
