Description

基板處理裝置及基板處理方法Substrate processing device and substrate processing method

本發明係關於一種對基板進行處理之基板處理裝置及基板處理方法。The present invention relates to a substrate processing device and a substrate processing method for processing substrates.

於半導體元件等之製造中之微影製程中,藉由對基板之上表面噴出塗佈液來形成塗佈膜。此處,若於基板周緣部存在塗佈膜,則於搬送基板之搬送機構固持基板周緣部時,塗佈膜之一部分會剝離而成為顆粒。因此,藉由對基板周緣部噴出有機溶劑來將基板周緣部之塗佈膜溶解。藉此,將基板周緣部之塗佈膜去除。In the lithography process in the manufacture of semiconductor devices, etc., a coating film is formed by spraying a coating liquid on the upper surface of the substrate. Here, if there is a coating film on the peripheral edge of the substrate, when the substrate peripheral is held by the transport mechanism that transports the substrate, a part of the coating film will peel off and become particles. Therefore, the coating film on the peripheral edge of the substrate is dissolved by spraying the organic solvent to the peripheral edge of the substrate. Thereby, the coating film on the periphery of the substrate is removed.

近年來一直在研究,為了形成更微細之圖案,而於基板上形成含有金屬之含金屬塗佈膜作為塗佈膜。於該構成中,確認到,即便於對基板周緣部噴出有機溶劑之情形時,含金屬塗佈膜之金屬成分亦無法被去除而是殘留於基板周緣部上。因此,殘留於基板周緣部之金屬成分會導致基板處理裝置及其他曝光裝置等污染。In recent years, it has been studied to form a metal-containing coating film containing a metal on a substrate as a coating film in order to form a finer pattern. In this configuration, it was confirmed that even when the organic solvent was sprayed on the peripheral edge of the substrate, the metal component of the metal-containing coating film could not be removed but remained on the peripheral edge of the substrate. Therefore, the metal components remaining on the periphery of the substrate may cause contamination of the substrate processing equipment and other exposure equipment.

於專利文獻1中,記載有將不同於含金屬塗佈膜但含有金屬之硬質遮罩膜去除之塗佈處理方法。於該方法中,於基板周緣部形成由負型光阻液構成之遮蔽膜。然後,於基板表面形成硬質遮罩膜。繼而,利用包含有機溶劑之硬質遮罩膜去除液將基板周緣部之硬質遮罩膜去除。其後,利用溶解負型光阻之遮蔽膜去除液將遮蔽膜去除。Patent Document 1 describes a coating treatment method for removing a hard mask film that is different from a metal-containing coating film but contains a metal. In this method, a shielding film made of negative photoresist liquid is formed on the periphery of the substrate. Then, a hard mask film is formed on the surface of the substrate. Then, the hard mask film on the periphery of the substrate is removed by a hard mask film removing solution containing an organic solvent. After that, the masking film is removed with a masking film removing solution that dissolves the negative photoresist.

[發明所欲解決之問題][The problem to be solved by the invention]

可藉由使用專利文獻1中記載之塗佈處理方法來將基板周緣部之金屬成分更確實地去除。然而,於該塗佈處理方法中,含金屬塗佈膜形成為於基板周緣部附近***之形狀。因此,無法有效利用基板周緣部附近之含金屬塗佈膜之區域,而使良率下降。The metal component of the peripheral portion of the substrate can be removed more reliably by using the coating treatment method described in Patent Document 1. However, in this coating treatment method, the metal-containing coating film is formed in a shape that is raised near the peripheral edge of the substrate. Therefore, the area of the metal-containing coating film near the peripheral edge of the substrate cannot be effectively used, and the yield is reduced.

本發明之目的在於提供一種可防止產生金屬污染、並且於基板上形成具有均勻膜厚之含金屬塗佈膜的基板處理裝置及基板處理方法。 [解決問題之技術手段]The object of the present invention is to provide a substrate processing apparatus and a substrate processing method that can prevent metal contamination and form a metal-containing coating film with a uniform film thickness on the substrate. [Technical means to solve the problem]

(1)本發明之一態樣之基板處理裝置具備:感光性塗佈液供給部,其藉由對具有形成有被處理膜之被處理面之基板供給感光性塗佈液,而以將被處理膜覆蓋之方式於基板之被處理面形成感光性塗佈膜;邊緣曝光部,其將重疊於基板之被處理面之周緣部上之感光性塗佈膜之外周部曝光;含金屬塗佈液供給部,其藉由將含有金屬之塗佈液作為含金屬塗佈液供給至感光性塗佈膜上,而於感光性塗佈膜上形成含金屬塗佈膜;第1去除液供給部,其對含金屬塗佈膜供給第1去除液,以將重疊於基板之被處理面之周緣部之含金屬塗佈膜之外周部去除;及第2去除液供給部,其於含金屬塗佈膜之外周部被去除後,對感光性塗佈膜供給第2去除液,以將感光性塗佈膜之經曝光之外周部去除。(1) A substrate processing apparatus according to one aspect of the present invention includes a photosensitive coating liquid supply unit that supplies a photosensitive coating liquid to a substrate having a surface to be processed on which a film to be processed is formed, thereby The processing film covering method forms a photosensitive coating film on the processed surface of the substrate; the edge exposure section exposes the outer periphery of the photosensitive coating film overlapping on the peripheral portion of the processed surface of the substrate; metal-containing coating A liquid supply section for forming a metal-containing coating film on the photosensitive coating film by supplying a metal-containing coating liquid as a metal-containing coating liquid onto the photosensitive coating film; a first removing liquid supply section , Which supplies the first removal solution to the metal-containing coating film to remove the outer peripheral portion of the metal-containing coating film that overlaps the peripheral portion of the processed surface of the substrate; and the second removal solution supply portion, which is applied to the metal-containing coating film After the outer peripheral portion of the cloth film is removed, the second removing liquid is supplied to the photosensitive coating film to remove the exposed outer peripheral portion of the photosensitive coating film.

於該基板處理裝置中,藉由利用感光性塗佈液供給部對基板供給感光性塗佈液,而於基板之被處理面形成感光性塗佈膜。利用邊緣曝光部將感光性塗佈膜之外周部曝光。藉由利用含金屬塗佈液供給部對感光性塗佈膜上供給含金屬塗佈液,而於感光性塗佈膜上形成含金屬塗佈膜。藉由利用第1去除液供給部對含金屬塗佈膜供給第1去除液,而將含金屬塗佈膜之外周部去除。於含金屬塗佈膜之外周部被去除後,利用第2去除液供給部對感光性塗佈膜供給第2去除液,藉此將感光性塗佈膜之經曝光之外周部去除。In this substrate processing apparatus, by supplying the photosensitive coating liquid to the substrate by the photosensitive coating liquid supply unit, a photosensitive coating film is formed on the processed surface of the substrate. The outer peripheral part of the photosensitive coating film is exposed by the edge exposure part. The metal-containing coating liquid is supplied onto the photosensitive coating film by the metal-containing coating liquid supply unit to form a metal-containing coating film on the photosensitive coating film. The outer periphery of the metal-containing coating film is removed by supplying the first removing liquid to the metal-containing coating film by the first removing liquid supply part. After the outer peripheral portion of the metal-containing coating film is removed, the second removing liquid is supplied to the photosensitive coating film by the second removing liquid supply unit, thereby removing the exposed outer peripheral portion of the photosensitive coating film.

根據該構成,感光性塗佈膜以將被處理膜覆蓋之方式形成於基板之被處理面之整個面而非僅形成於基板周緣部。因此,含金屬塗佈膜不會於基板周緣部附近***,而以均勻厚度形成於感光性塗佈膜上。又,於將含金屬塗佈膜之外周部去除時,即便於含金屬塗佈膜之金屬成分殘留於感光性塗佈膜之外周部之情形時,該金屬成分亦會連同感光性塗佈膜之外周部一起被去除。因此,即便於搬送機構保持基板周緣部之情形時,金屬成分亦不會附著於搬送機構。其結果,可防止產生金屬污染,並且於基板上形成具有均勻膜厚之含金屬塗佈膜。According to this configuration, the photosensitive coating film is formed on the entire surface of the substrate to be processed so as to cover the processed film, not only on the peripheral edge of the substrate. Therefore, the metal-containing coating film does not swell near the peripheral edge of the substrate, but is formed on the photosensitive coating film with a uniform thickness. In addition, when the outer peripheral portion of the metal-containing coating film is removed, even when the metal component of the metal-containing coating film remains on the outer peripheral portion of the photosensitive coating film, the metal component will be combined with the photosensitive coating film The outer periphery is removed together. Therefore, even when the transport mechanism holds the peripheral edge of the substrate, the metal component does not adhere to the transport mechanism. As a result, metal contamination can be prevented, and a metal-containing coating film having a uniform film thickness can be formed on the substrate.

(2)亦可為,第1去除液為使含金屬塗佈膜溶解且不使感光性塗佈膜溶解之液體,第2去除液為使感光性塗佈膜溶解且不使含金屬塗佈膜溶解之液體。於該情形時,可選擇性地且容易地將含金屬塗佈膜及感光性塗佈膜之外周部依序去除。(2) It may also be that the first removal liquid is a liquid that dissolves the metal-containing coating film and does not dissolve the photosensitive coating film, and the second removal liquid is a liquid that dissolves the photosensitive coating film and does not apply the metal-containing coating Liquid in which the membrane is dissolved. In this case, the outer peripheral portion of the metal-containing coating film and the photosensitive coating film can be removed sequentially and selectively.

(3)亦可為,第1去除液包含有機溶劑,第2去除液包含進行正型顯影之顯影液。於該情形時,可利用第1去除液於不使感光性塗佈膜溶解之情況下使含金屬塗佈膜溶解。可利用第2去除液於不使含金屬塗佈膜溶解之情況下使感光性塗佈膜溶解。(3) The first removal liquid may contain an organic solvent, and the second removal liquid may contain a developer for positive development. In this case, the first removing liquid can be used to dissolve the metal-containing coating film without dissolving the photosensitive coating film. The second removing liquid can be used to dissolve the photosensitive coating film without dissolving the metal-containing coating film.

In addition, when the outer peripheral portion of the metal-containing coating film is removed, even when the metal component of the metal-containing coating film remains on the outer peripheral portion of the photosensitive coating film, the metal component will be combined with the photosensitive coating film The outer periphery is removed together. Therefore, even when the transport mechanism holds the peripheral edge of the substrate, the metal component does not adhere to the transport mechanism.

(2)基板處理 圖5~圖7係供進行處理之基板W之局部放大縱剖視圖。圖5(a)表示例如由矽形成之未處理之基板W。圖5(a)之基板W自圖1之導引區塊11被搬送至塗佈區塊12之熱處理部123,利用冷卻單元CP對基板W進行冷卻處理。(2) Substrate processing 5 to 7 are partial enlarged longitudinal cross-sectional views of the substrate W for processing. Fig. 5(a) shows an untreated substrate W made of silicon, for example. The substrate W of FIG. 5(a) is transported from the guide block 11 of FIG. 1 to the heat treatment part 123 of the coating block 12, and the substrate W is cooled by the cooling unit CP.

冷卻處理後,基板W被搬送至圖1之塗佈處理部121之任一塗佈處理單元20,藉由旋轉吸盤21被保持及進行旋轉。於該狀態下,如圖5(b)所示,利用塗佈噴嘴23a向基板W之被處理面之大致中央部噴出塗佈液。藉此,於基板W之被處理面形成下層膜F1作為塗佈膜。After the cooling process, the substrate W is transported to any coating processing unit 20 of the coating processing section 121 in FIG. 1, and is held and rotated by the spin chuck 21. In this state, as shown in FIG. 5(b), the coating liquid is sprayed toward the substantially central portion of the processed surface of the substrate W by the coating nozzle 23a. Thereby, the underlayer film F1 is formed as a coating film on the processed surface of the substrate W.

又,如圖5(c)所示,利用邊緣清洗噴嘴25a對基板W之周緣部噴出清洗液。藉此,進行邊緣清洗處理,而將附著於基板W之周緣部之塗佈液去除。作為圖5(c)之清洗液,例如可為有機溶劑,亦可為純水或水溶液。邊緣清洗處理後,基板W被搬送至熱處理部123,利用圖1之加熱單元PHP或冷卻單元CP對基板W進行特定熱處理(包括冷卻處理)。Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5(c), the edge cleaning nozzle 25a sprays the cleaning liquid onto the peripheral edge of the substrate W. Thereby, the edge cleaning process is performed, and the coating liquid adhering to the peripheral edge of the substrate W is removed. As the cleaning liquid of FIG. 5(c), for example, it may be an organic solvent, pure water or an aqueous solution. After the edge cleaning process, the substrate W is transported to the heat treatment unit 123, and the substrate W is subjected to specific heat treatment (including cooling process) by the heating unit PHP or the cooling unit CP in FIG. 1.

In this case, each time a coating film is formed on the substrate W in the coating processing section 121 and the edge cleaning process is performed, it is convenient to heat the substrate W in the thermal processing section 123. In the example of FIG. 5(d), the lower film F1 has a configuration in which the coating films Fa, Fb, and Fc are sequentially laminated on the substrate W.

塗佈膜Fa例如為氮化矽膜、氧化矽膜或多晶矽膜,且係於本實施形態中之基板處理結束後成為利用未圖示之外部之蝕刻裝置進行蝕刻之對象之膜。塗佈膜Fb例如為SOC(Spin On Carbon,旋塗碳)膜。塗佈膜Fc例如為SOG(Spin On Glass,旋轉塗佈玻璃)膜或SiARC(Si-rich Anti Reflective Coating,富矽抗反射塗層)膜。塗佈膜Fb、Fc係用作用於塗佈膜Fa之蝕刻之遮罩。The coating film Fa is, for example, a silicon nitride film, a silicon oxide film, or a polysilicon film, and is a film to be etched by an external etching device (not shown) after the substrate processing in this embodiment is completed. The coating film Fb is, for example, an SOC (Spin On Carbon) film. The coating film Fc is, for example, a SOG (Spin On Glass) film or a SiARC (Si-rich Anti Reflective Coating) film. The coating films Fb and Fc are used as masks for etching of the coating film Fa.

於本實施形態中,下層膜F1包含塗佈膜Fa~Fc,但本發明並不限定於此。塗佈膜Fc係用於使塗佈膜Fa之蝕刻速率擴增。因此,於能夠以足夠大之蝕刻速率對塗佈膜Fa進行蝕刻之情形時,下層膜F1亦可包含塗佈膜Fa、Fb而不含塗佈膜Fc。或者,下層膜F1亦可包含塗佈膜Fa而不含塗佈膜Fb、Fc。In this embodiment, the lower layer film F1 includes the coating films Fa to Fc, but the present invention is not limited to this. The coating film Fc is used to amplify the etching rate of the coating film Fa. Therefore, when the coating film Fa can be etched at a sufficiently large etching rate, the lower layer film F1 may include the coating films Fa and Fb without the coating film Fc. Alternatively, the lower layer film F1 may include the coating film Fa without excluding the coating films Fb and Fc.

其後,基板W被搬送至塗佈處理部121之任一塗佈處理單元20,藉由旋轉吸盤21被保持及進行旋轉。於該狀態下,如圖6(a)所示,利用塗佈噴嘴23b將感光性之光阻液作為塗佈液噴出至基板W之被處理面之大致中央部。藉此,以覆蓋下層膜F1之方式於基板W之被處理面形成感光性抗蝕膜F2作為塗佈膜。感光性抗蝕膜F2例如為藉由i光線感光之i光線抗蝕膜。After that, the substrate W is transported to any coating processing unit 20 of the coating processing section 121, and is held and rotated by the spin chuck 21. In this state, as shown in FIG. 6(a), the photosensitive resist liquid is ejected as the coating liquid to the substantially central portion of the processed surface of the substrate W by the application nozzle 23b. Thereby, a photosensitive resist film F2 is formed as a coating film on the processed surface of the substrate W so as to cover the lower layer film F1. The photosensitive resist film F2 is, for example, an i-ray resist film that is sensitized by i-ray light.

又,如圖6(b)所示,利用斜面清洗噴嘴26向基板W之斜面部噴出清洗液。藉此,進行斜面清洗處理,而將附著於基板W之斜面部之光阻液去除。圖6(b)之清洗液亦可為與圖5(c)相同之清洗液體。Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6(b), the cleaning liquid is sprayed to the slope surface of the substrate W by the slope cleaning nozzle 26. Thereby, the inclined surface cleaning process is performed, and the photoresist liquid adhering to the inclined surface of the substrate W is removed. The cleaning liquid of Fig. 6(b) can also be the same cleaning liquid as that of Fig. 5(c).

斜面清洗處理後,基板W被搬送至熱處理部123,利用加熱單元PHP或冷卻單元CP對基板W進行特定熱處理。熱處理後,基板W於圖3之邊緣曝光部40中藉由旋轉吸盤41被保持及進行旋轉。於該狀態下,如圖6(c)所示,自光源42對基板W之周緣部之固定寬度之區域照射曝光光。藉此,對基板W上之周緣部中之感光性抗蝕膜F2之固定寬度之區域進行邊緣曝光處理。邊緣曝光處理後,利用冷卻單元CP對基板W進行冷卻處理。After the slope cleaning process, the substrate W is transported to the heat treatment unit 123, and the substrate W is subjected to specific heat treatment by the heating unit PHP or the cooling unit CP. After the heat treatment, the substrate W is held and rotated by the rotary chuck 41 in the edge exposure part 40 of FIG. 3. In this state, as shown in FIG. 6(c), the light source 42 irradiates a region of a fixed width on the peripheral edge of the substrate W with exposure light. Thereby, edge exposure processing is performed on the fixed width area of the photosensitive resist film F2 in the peripheral portion on the substrate W. After the edge exposure processing, the substrate W is cooled by the cooling unit CP.

再者,於本實施形態中,感光性抗蝕膜F2為i光線抗蝕膜,但本發明並不限定於此。感光性抗蝕膜F2亦可為其他感光性抗蝕膜。例如,感光性抗蝕膜F2亦可為藉由具有248 nm之峰值波長之光而感光之KrF(氟化氪)抗蝕膜。於該情形時,光源42包含KrF準分子雷射器。或者,感光性抗蝕膜F2亦可為藉由具有193 nm之峰值波長之光而感光之ArF(氟化氬)抗蝕膜。於該情形時,光源42包含ArF準分子雷射器。In addition, in this embodiment, the photosensitive resist film F2 is an i-ray resist film, but this invention is not limited to this. The photosensitive resist film F2 may be another photosensitive resist film. For example, the photosensitive resist film F2 may be a KrF (krypton fluoride) resist film that is photosensitive by light having a peak wavelength of 248 nm. In this case, the light source 42 includes a KrF excimer laser. Alternatively, the photosensitive resist film F2 may be an ArF (argon fluoride) resist film that is photosensitive by light having a peak wavelength of 193 nm. In this case, the light source 42 includes an ArF excimer laser.

其後,基板W被搬送至塗佈處理部121之任一塗佈處理單元20,藉由旋轉吸盤21被保持及進行旋轉。於該狀態下,如圖7(a)所示,將含有用於高效吸收EUV (Extreme Ultra Violet,超紫外線)之金屬成分或金屬氧化物等金屬成分作為組合物之含金屬抗蝕液作為塗佈液利用塗佈噴嘴23c向基板W之被處理面之大致中央部噴出。EUV之波長為13 nm以上14 nm以下。金屬成分例如包含Sn(錫)、HfO2 (氧化鉿)或ZrO2 (二氧化鋯)。藉此,以覆蓋感光性抗蝕膜F2之方式於基板W之被處理面形成含金屬抗蝕膜F4作為塗佈膜。After that, the substrate W is transported to any coating processing unit 20 of the coating processing section 121, and is held and rotated by the spin chuck 21. In this state, as shown in Figure 7(a), a metal-containing resist containing a metal component for highly effective absorption of EUV (Extreme Ultra Violet) or a metal component such as a metal oxide as a composition is used as a coating The cloth liquid is sprayed toward the substantially central portion of the surface to be processed of the substrate W by the application nozzle 23c. The wavelength of EUV is above 13 nm and below 14 nm. The metal component includes, for example, Sn (tin), HfO 2 (hafnium oxide), or ZrO 2 (zirconium dioxide). Thereby, a metal-containing resist film F4 is formed as a coating film on the processed surface of the substrate W so as to cover the photosensitive resist film F2.

又,如圖7(b)所示,利用邊緣清洗噴嘴25b對基板W之周緣部噴出清洗液。作為圖7(b)之清洗液,使用使含金屬抗蝕膜F4溶解且不使感光性抗蝕膜F2溶解之液體。具體而言,作為清洗液,例如使用MIBC(methyl isobutyl carbinol,甲基異丁基甲醇)或MIBK(methyl isobutyl ketone,甲基異丁基酮)等溶解性較低之有機溶劑。藉此,進行邊緣清洗處理,而將附著於基板W之周緣部之含金屬抗蝕液去除。Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7(b), the edge cleaning nozzle 25b sprays the cleaning liquid onto the peripheral edge of the substrate W. As the cleaning liquid of FIG. 7(b), a liquid that dissolves the metal-containing resist film F4 and does not dissolve the photosensitive resist film F2 is used. Specifically, as the cleaning liquid, for example, MIBC (methyl isobutyl carbinol) or MIBK (methyl isobutyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone) and other organic solvents with relatively low solubility are used. By this, the edge cleaning process is performed, and the metal-containing resist attached to the peripheral edge of the substrate W is removed.

進而,如圖7(c)所示,利用邊緣清洗噴嘴25c對基板W之周緣部噴出清洗液。作為圖7(c)之清洗液,使用使感光性抗蝕膜F2溶解且不使含金屬抗蝕膜F4溶解之液體。具體而言,作為清洗液,使用例如包含TMAH(tetra methyl ammonium hydroxide,氫氧化四甲基銨)或KOH(potassium hydroxide,氫氧化鈉)之鹼性水溶液等顯影液。藉此,進行邊緣清洗處理,而將殘留於基板W之周緣部之感光性抗蝕膜F2藉由正型顯影去除。Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7(c), the edge cleaning nozzle 25c sprays the cleaning liquid onto the peripheral edge of the substrate W. As the cleaning liquid of FIG. 7(c), a liquid which dissolves the photosensitive resist film F2 and does not dissolve the metal-containing resist film F4 is used. Specifically, as the cleaning solution, a developer solution such as an alkaline aqueous solution containing TMAH (tetra methyl ammonium hydroxide) or KOH (potassium hydroxide) is used. Thereby, the edge cleaning process is performed, and the photosensitive resist film F2 remaining on the peripheral edge of the substrate W is removed by positive development.

上述兩個階段之邊緣清洗處理後,基板W被搬送至熱處理部123,利用加熱單元PHP或冷卻單元CP對基板W進行特定熱處理。其後,基板W自塗佈區塊12被搬送至導引區塊11,基板處理結束。After the above two stages of edge cleaning processing, the substrate W is transported to the heat treatment section 123, and the substrate W is subjected to specific heat treatment by the heating unit PHP or the cooling unit CP. After that, the substrate W is transported from the coating block 12 to the guide block 11, and the substrate processing ends.

(3)基板處理裝置之動作 一面參照圖1~圖7,一面對基板處理裝置100之動作進行說明。再者,於以下說明中,將圖2之積層於塗佈處理部121之複數個塗佈處理單元20中配置於上部之一半塗佈處理單元20稱作上段之塗佈處理單元20,另一方面,將配置於下部之剩餘一半塗佈處理單元20稱作下段之塗佈處理單元20。(3) Operation of substrate processing equipment 1 to FIG. 7, and the operation of the substrate processing apparatus 100 will be described. Furthermore, in the following description, one half of the coating treatment unit 20 of the plurality of coating treatment units 20 layered on the coating treatment section 121 of FIG. 2 is called the upper coating treatment unit 20, and the other On the other hand, the remaining half of the coating processing unit 20 arranged in the lower part is referred to as the coating processing unit 20 in the lower stage.

於導引區塊11之載具載置部111(圖1)載置收容有未處理之基板W之載具113。搬送裝置115自載具113向基板載置部P1、P3(圖4)搬送未處理之基板W。又,搬送裝置115將載置於基板載置部P2、P4(圖4)之已處理之基板W搬送至載具113。The carrier 113 containing the unprocessed substrate W is placed on the carrier placing portion 111 (FIG. 1) of the guide block 11. The conveying device 115 conveys the unprocessed substrate W from the carrier 113 to the substrate placing parts P1 and P3 (FIG. 4 ). In addition, the conveying device 115 conveys the processed substrate W placed on the substrate placing portions P2 and P4 (FIG. 4) to the carrier 113.

於塗佈區塊12,搬送裝置127將載置於基板載置部P1之基板W依序搬送至上段熱處理部101(圖3)之冷卻單元CP及塗佈處理部121(圖2)之上段之任一塗佈處理單元20。於該情形時,於冷卻單元CP中,將基板W冷卻至適於形成下層膜F1之溫度。又,於塗佈處理單元20中,如圖5(b)所示般於基板W上形成下層膜F1,如圖5(c)所示般對基板W進行邊緣清洗處理。In the coating block 12, the conveying device 127 sequentially conveys the substrate W placed on the substrate placing part P1 to the upper stage of the cooling unit CP of the upper heat treatment part 101 (FIG. 3) and the coating treatment part 121 (FIG. 2)的 Any coating processing unit 20. In this case, in the cooling unit CP, the substrate W is cooled to a temperature suitable for forming the lower film F1. In addition, in the coating processing unit 20, the underlayer film F1 is formed on the substrate W as shown in FIG. 5(b), and the edge cleaning process is performed on the substrate W as shown in FIG. 5(c).

然後,搬送裝置127將利用塗佈處理單元20形成有下層膜F1之基板W依序搬送至上段熱處理部101之加熱單元PHP及冷卻單元CP。於該情形時,於加熱單元PHP中,將基板W加熱至150℃~400℃後,於冷卻單元CP中進行冷卻。如圖5(d)所示,於下層膜F1包含複數個塗佈膜Fa~Fc之情形時,搬送裝置127於塗佈處理單元20與加熱單元PHP及冷卻單元CP之間反覆進行上述基板W之搬送。Then, the conveying device 127 sequentially conveys the substrate W on which the lower layer film F1 is formed by the coating processing unit 20 to the heating unit PHP and the cooling unit CP of the upper heat treatment unit 101. In this case, after heating the substrate W to 150°C to 400°C in the heating unit PHP, it is cooled in the cooling unit CP. As shown in FIG. 5(d), when the lower film F1 includes a plurality of coating films Fa to Fc, the conveying device 127 repeatedly performs the substrate W between the coating processing unit 20 and the heating unit PHP and the cooling unit CP. The transfer.

其後,搬送裝置127將基板W依序搬送至塗佈處理部121之上段之任一塗佈處理單元20、上段熱處理部101之加熱單元PHP、冷卻單元CP、邊緣曝光部40及冷卻單元CP。於該情形時,於塗佈處理單元20中,如圖6(a)所示般於基板W上形成感光性抗蝕膜F2,如圖6(b)所示般對基板W進行斜面清洗處理。又,於加熱單元PHP中,將基板W加熱至90℃~130℃後,於冷卻單元CP中進行冷卻。其次,於邊緣曝光部40中,如圖6(c)所示般對基板W進行邊緣曝光處理,於冷卻單元CP中將基板W冷卻。After that, the conveying device 127 sequentially conveys the substrate W to any one of the coating processing unit 20 of the upper stage of the coating processing section 121, the heating unit PHP, the cooling unit CP, the edge exposure section 40, and the cooling unit CP of the upper heat treatment section 101 . In this case, in the coating processing unit 20, a photosensitive resist film F2 is formed on the substrate W as shown in FIG. 6(a), and the substrate W is subjected to a slope cleaning process as shown in FIG. 6(b) . In addition, after heating the substrate W to 90°C to 130°C in the heating unit PHP, it is cooled in the cooling unit CP. Next, in the edge exposure section 40, the substrate W is subjected to edge exposure processing as shown in FIG. 6(c), and the substrate W is cooled in the cooling unit CP.

其後,搬送裝置127將基板W依序搬送至塗佈處理部121之上段之任一塗佈處理單元20、上段熱處理部101之加熱單元PHP及冷卻單元CP。於該情形時,於塗佈處理單元20中,如圖7(a)所示般於基板W上形成含金屬抗蝕膜F4後,如圖7(b)及圖7(c)所示般對基板W進行兩個階段之邊緣清洗處理。又,於加熱單元PHP中,將基板W加熱至90℃~200℃後,於冷卻單元CP中進行冷卻。最後,搬送裝置127將冷卻後之基板W搬送至基板載置部P2。After that, the conveying device 127 sequentially conveys the substrate W to any one of the coating processing unit 20 of the upper stage of the coating processing section 121, the heating unit PHP and the cooling unit CP of the upper heat treatment section 101. In this case, in the coating processing unit 20, after the metal-containing resist film F4 is formed on the substrate W as shown in FIG. 7(a), as shown in FIGS. 7(b) and 7(c) The substrate W is subjected to a two-stage edge cleaning process. In addition, after heating the substrate W to 90 to 200°C in the heating unit PHP, it is cooled in the cooling unit CP. Finally, the transfer device 127 transfers the cooled substrate W to the substrate placement portion P2.

搬送裝置128將載置於基板載置部P3之基板W依序搬送至下段熱處理部102(圖3)之冷卻單元CP及塗佈處理部121(圖2)之下段之任一塗佈處理單元20。其次,搬送裝置128將基板W依序搬送至下段熱處理部102之加熱單元PHP及冷卻單元CP。於下層膜F1包含複數個塗佈膜之情形時,搬送裝置128於塗佈處理單元20與加熱單元PHP及冷卻單元CP之間反覆進行上述基板W之搬送。The conveying device 128 sequentially conveys the substrate W placed on the substrate placement part P3 to the cooling unit CP of the lower heat treatment part 102 (FIG. 3) and any coating treatment unit in the lower part of the coating treatment part 121 (FIG. 2) 20. Next, the conveying device 128 sequentially conveys the substrate W to the heating unit PHP and the cooling unit CP of the lower heat treatment section 102. When the lower film F1 includes a plurality of coating films, the transport device 128 repeatedly transports the substrate W between the coating processing unit 20 and the heating unit PHP and the cooling unit CP.

繼而,搬送裝置128將基板W依序搬送至塗佈處理部121之下段之任一塗佈處理單元20、下段熱處理部102之邊緣曝光部40、加熱單元PHP及冷卻單元CP。其後,搬送裝置128將基板W依序搬送至塗佈處理部121之下段之任一塗佈處理單元20、下段熱處理部102之加熱單元PHP、冷卻單元CP及基板載置部P2。下段之塗佈處理單元20及下段熱處理部102中之基板W之處理內容與上段之塗佈處理單元20及上段熱處理部101中之基板W之處理內容分別相同。Then, the conveying device 128 sequentially conveys the substrate W to any one of the coating processing units 20 at the lower stage of the coating processing section 121, the edge exposure section 40 of the lower heat treatment section 102, the heating unit PHP, and the cooling unit CP. After that, the conveying device 128 sequentially conveys the substrate W to any one of the coating processing units 20 in the lower stage of the coating processing section 121, the heating unit PHP, the cooling unit CP, and the substrate placing section P2 of the lower thermal processing section 102. The processing content of the substrate W in the lower coating processing unit 20 and the lower heat treatment unit 102 is the same as the processing content of the substrate W in the upper coating processing unit 20 and the upper heat treatment unit 101, respectively.

(4)效果 於本實施形態之基板處理裝置100中,感光性抗蝕膜F2以覆蓋下層膜F1之方式形成於基板W之被處理面之整個面而非僅形成於基板W之周緣部。因此,含金屬抗蝕膜F4不會於基板W之周緣部附近***,而以均勻厚度形成於感光性抗蝕膜F2上。又,於將含金屬抗蝕膜F4之外周部去除時,即便於含金屬抗蝕膜F4之金屬成分殘留於感光性抗蝕膜F2之外周部之情形時,該金屬成分亦會連同感光性抗蝕膜F2之外周部一起被去除。(4) Effect In the substrate processing apparatus 100 of this embodiment, the photosensitive resist film F2 is formed on the entire surface of the substrate W to be processed so as to cover the underlying film F1, not only on the peripheral edge of the substrate W. Therefore, the metal-containing resist film F4 does not swell near the peripheral edge of the substrate W, and is formed on the photosensitive resist film F2 with a uniform thickness. In addition, when the outer periphery of the metal-containing resist film F4 is removed, even when the metal component of the metal-containing resist film F4 remains on the outer periphery of the photosensitive resist film F2, the metal component will be combined with the photosensitive film F2. The outer periphery of the resist film F2 is removed together.

因此,即便於搬送裝置115、127、128保持基板W之周緣部之情形時,金屬成分亦不會附著於搬送裝置115、127、128。藉此,可防止產生金屬污染,並且於基板W上形成具有均勻膜厚之含金屬抗蝕膜F4。其結果,可有效利用基板W之周緣部附近之含金屬抗蝕膜F4之區域,而可防止良率下降。Therefore, even when the conveying devices 115, 127, and 128 hold the peripheral edge portion of the substrate W, the metal component does not adhere to the conveying devices 115, 127, and 128. Thereby, the occurrence of metal contamination can be prevented, and the metal-containing resist film F4 having a uniform film thickness can be formed on the substrate W. As a result, the area of the metal-containing resist film F4 near the peripheral edge of the substrate W can be effectively used, and the yield can be prevented from decreasing.

圖10係主要表示圖8之熱處理部123、133及洗淨乾燥處理部162之基板處理裝置100之模式性側視圖。如圖10所示,於本實施形態中,於熱處理部123之上段熱處理部101及下段熱處理部102之各者設置2個邊緣曝光部40。於以下說明中,將一邊緣曝光部40稱作邊緣曝光部40a,將另一邊緣曝光部40稱作邊緣曝光部40b。FIG. 10 is a schematic side view of the substrate processing apparatus 100 mainly showing the heat treatment units 123 and 133 and the washing and drying processing unit 162 of FIG. 8. As shown in FIG. 10, in this embodiment, two edge exposure parts 40 are provided in each of the upper heat treatment part 101 and the lower heat treatment part 102 of the heat treatment part 123.

In this embodiment, the substrate W is subjected to the same treatment as the treatment in Figs. 5(a) to 6(b) in the first embodiment. Furthermore, in this embodiment, in the process of FIG. 6(a), the photosensitive first photoresist liquid is used as the coating liquid. Thereby, a photosensitive resist film F2 is formed on the processed surface of the substrate W. The photosensitive resist film F2 is, for example, a KrF resist film that is photosensitive by light having a peak wavelength of 248 nm.

又,圖6(b)之處理後,基板W被搬送至塗佈處理部121之任一塗佈處理單元20,藉由旋轉吸盤21被保持及進行旋轉。於該狀態下,如圖12(a)所示,利用塗佈噴嘴23d將感光性之第2光阻液作為塗佈液向基板W之被處理面之大致中央部噴出。藉此,以覆蓋感光性抗蝕膜F2之方式於基板W之被處理面形成感光性抗蝕膜F3作為塗佈膜。感光性抗蝕膜F3例如為藉由具有365 nm之峰值波長之光而感光之i光線抗蝕膜。In addition, after the processing in FIG. 6( b ), the substrate W is transported to any coating processing unit 20 of the coating processing section 121, and is held and rotated by the spin chuck 21. In this state, as shown in FIG. 12(a), the photosensitive second photoresist liquid is ejected as a coating liquid onto the substantially central portion of the processed surface of the substrate W by the application nozzle 23d. Thereby, a photosensitive resist film F3 is formed as a coating film on the processed surface of the substrate W so as to cover the photosensitive resist film F2. The photosensitive resist film F3 is, for example, an i-ray resist film that is sensitized by light having a peak wavelength of 365 nm.

於本實施形態中,感光性抗蝕膜F2為KrF抗蝕膜,感光性抗蝕膜F3為i光線抗蝕膜,但本發明並不限定於此。感光性抗蝕膜F2、F3亦可為其他抗蝕膜,只要具有互不相同之感光波長分佈即可。因此,亦可為,感光性抗蝕膜F2例如為i光線抗蝕膜、氟化氪抗蝕膜及氟化氬抗蝕膜中之任一種抗蝕膜,感光性抗蝕膜F3為其他抗蝕膜。In this embodiment, the photosensitive resist film F2 is a KrF resist film, and the photosensitive resist film F3 is an i-ray resist film, but the present invention is not limited to this. The photosensitive resist films F2 and F3 may be other resist films as long as they have different photosensitive wavelength distributions. Therefore, the photosensitive resist film F2 may be any one of an i-ray resist film, a krypton fluoride resist film, and an argon fluoride resist film, and the photosensitive resist film F3 may be another resist film. Erosion film.

又,如圖12(b)所示,利用斜面清洗噴嘴26向基板W之斜面部噴出清洗液。藉此,進行斜面清洗處理,而將附著於基板W之斜面部之第2光阻液去除。圖12(b)之清洗液亦可為與圖6(b)相同之清洗液體。斜面清洗處理後,利用加熱單元PHP或冷卻單元CP對基板W進行特定熱處理。Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 12(b), the cleaning liquid is sprayed to the slope surface of the substrate W by the slope cleaning nozzle 26. Thereby, the inclined surface cleaning process is performed, and the second photoresist liquid adhering to the inclined surface portion of the substrate W is removed. The cleaning liquid of Fig. 12(b) can also be the same cleaning liquid as that of Fig. 6(b). After the slope cleaning process, the substrate W is subjected to specific heat treatment by the heating unit PHP or the cooling unit CP.

斜面清洗處理後,基板W被搬送至圖8之熱處理部123,利用加熱單元PHP或冷卻單元CP對基板W進行特定熱處理。熱處理後,基板W於圖10之邊緣曝光部40a,藉由旋轉吸盤41被保持及進行旋轉。於該狀態下,如圖12(c)所示,自光源42對基板W之周緣部之固定寬度之區域照射曝光光。藉此,對基板W上之周緣部中之感光性抗蝕膜F3之固定寬度之區域進行邊緣曝光處理。邊緣曝光處理後,利用冷卻單元CP對基板W進行冷卻處理。After the slope cleaning process, the substrate W is transported to the heat treatment unit 123 in FIG. 8, and the substrate W is subjected to specific heat treatment by the heating unit PHP or the cooling unit CP. After the heat treatment, the substrate W is held and rotated by the rotary chuck 41 in the edge exposure part 40a of FIG. 10. In this state, as shown in FIG. 12(c), the light source 42 irradiates a region of a fixed width on the peripheral edge of the substrate W with exposure light. Thereby, edge exposure processing is performed on the fixed width area of the photosensitive resist film F3 in the peripheral portion on the substrate W. After the edge exposure processing, the substrate W is cooled by the cooling unit CP.

其後,基板W被搬送至塗佈處理部121之任一塗佈處理單元20,藉由旋轉吸盤21被保持及進行旋轉。於該狀態下,如圖13(a)所示,利用塗佈噴嘴23c將含金屬抗蝕液作為塗佈液向基板W之被處理面之大致中央部噴出。藉此,以將感光性抗蝕膜F3覆蓋之方式於基板W之被處理面形成含金屬抗蝕膜F4作為塗佈膜。After that, the substrate W is transported to any coating processing unit 20 of the coating processing section 121, and is held and rotated by the spin chuck 21. In this state, as shown in FIG. 13(a), the metal-containing resist liquid is sprayed as a coating liquid toward the substantially central portion of the processed surface of the substrate W using the coating nozzle 23c. Thereby, a metal-containing resist film F4 is formed as a coating film on the processed surface of the substrate W so as to cover the photosensitive resist film F3.

又,如圖13(b)所示,利用邊緣清洗噴嘴25b對基板W之周緣部噴出清洗液。作為圖13(b)之清洗液,使用使含金屬抗蝕膜F4溶解且不使感光性抗蝕膜F2、F3溶解之液體。具體而言,作為清洗液,使用例如MIBC或MIBK等溶解性較低之有機溶劑。藉此,進行邊緣清洗處理,而將附著於基板W之周緣部之含金屬抗蝕液去除。In addition, as shown in FIG. 13(b), the edge cleaning nozzle 25b sprays the cleaning liquid onto the peripheral edge of the substrate W. As the cleaning liquid of FIG. 13(b), a liquid that dissolves the metal-containing resist film F4 and does not dissolve the photosensitive resist films F2 and F3 is used. Specifically, as the cleaning liquid, organic solvents with low solubility such as MIBC or MIBK are used. By this, the edge cleaning process is performed, and the metal-containing resist attached to the peripheral edge of the substrate W is removed.

進而,如圖13(c)所示,利用邊緣清洗噴嘴25c對基板W之周緣部噴出清洗液。作為圖13(c)之清洗液,使用使感光性抗蝕膜F3溶解且不使含金屬抗蝕膜F4溶解之液體。具體而言,作為清洗液,使用例如包含TMAH或KOH之鹼性水溶液等顯影液。藉此,進行邊緣清洗處理,將殘留於基板W之周緣部之感光性抗蝕膜F3藉由正型顯影去除。Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 13(c), the edge cleaning nozzle 25c sprays the cleaning liquid onto the peripheral edge of the substrate W. As the cleaning liquid of FIG. 13(c), a liquid which dissolves the photosensitive resist film F3 and does not dissolve the metal-containing resist film F4 is used. Specifically, as the cleaning liquid, a developer such as an alkaline aqueous solution containing TMAH or KOH is used. Thereby, the edge cleaning process is performed, and the photosensitive resist film F3 remaining on the peripheral edge of the substrate W is removed by positive development.

上述兩個階段之邊緣清洗處理後,基板W被搬送至熱處理部123,利用加熱單元PHP或冷卻單元CP對基板W進行特定熱處理。其後,基板W被搬送至圖10之邊緣曝光部40b,藉由旋轉吸盤41被保持及進行旋轉。於該狀態下,如圖14(a)所示,自光源42對基板W之周緣部之固定寬度之區域照射曝光光。藉此,對基板W上之周緣部中之感光性抗蝕膜F2之固定寬度之區域進行邊緣曝光處理。邊緣曝光處理後,利用冷卻單元CP對基板W進行冷卻處理。After the above two stages of edge cleaning processing, the substrate W is transported to the heat treatment section 123, and the substrate W is subjected to specific heat treatment by the heating unit PHP or the cooling unit CP. After that, the substrate W is transported to the edge exposure section 40b of FIG. 10, and is held and rotated by the spin chuck 41. In this state, as shown in FIG. 14(a), the light source 42 irradiates the area of the peripheral edge of the substrate W with exposure light. Thereby, edge exposure processing is performed on the fixed width area of the photosensitive resist film F2 in the peripheral portion on the substrate W. After the edge exposure processing, the substrate W is cooled by the cooling unit CP.

其後,基板W被搬送至圖8之曝光裝置15,對基板W進行曝光處理。藉此,使含金屬抗蝕膜F4曝光成特定圖案。利用曝光裝置15進行曝光處理後,基板W被搬送至熱處理部133,利用加熱單元PHP或冷卻單元CP對基板W進行包括曝光後烘烤(PEB)處理之特定熱處理。After that, the substrate W is transported to the exposure device 15 of FIG. 8, and the substrate W is subjected to exposure processing. Thereby, the metal-containing resist film F4 is exposed to a specific pattern. After the exposure process is performed by the exposure device 15, the substrate W is transported to the heat treatment section 133, and the substrate W is subjected to a specific heat treatment including post-exposure bake (PEB) treatment by the heating unit PHP or the cooling unit CP.

PEB處理後,基板W被搬送至圖9之顯影處理部131,藉由旋轉吸盤31被保持及進行旋轉。於該狀態下,如圖14(b)所示,自顯影噴嘴33向基板W之被處理面噴出顯影液。作為顯影液,使用使含金屬抗蝕膜F4溶解且不使感光性抗蝕膜F2、F3溶解之液體。具體而言,作為顯影液,使用例如包含nBA(乙酸正丁酯,n-butyl acetate)或2-庚酮(2-Heptanone)之有機溶劑等顯影液。藉此,進行負型顯影處理,而使含金屬抗蝕膜F4形成為特定圖案。After the PEB processing, the substrate W is transported to the development processing section 131 of FIG. 9, and is held and rotated by the rotary chuck 31. In this state, as shown in FIG. 14(b), the developing nozzle 33 ejects the developer to the processed surface of the substrate W. As the developer, a liquid that dissolves the metal-containing resist film F4 and does not dissolve the photosensitive resist films F2 and F3 is used. Specifically, as the developer, a developer such as an organic solvent containing nBA (n-butyl acetate) or 2-Heptanone (2-Heptanone) is used. Thereby, a negative type development process is performed, and the metal containing resist film F4 is formed in a specific pattern.

顯影處理後,基板W係如圖14(c)所示般利用邊緣清洗噴嘴35向由旋轉吸盤31旋轉之基板W之周緣部噴出清洗液。作為圖14(c)之清洗液,使用使感光性抗蝕膜F2溶解且不使含金屬抗蝕膜F4溶解之液體。具體而言,作為清洗液,使用例如包含TMAH或KOH之鹼性水溶液等顯影液。藉此,進行邊緣清洗處理,將殘留於基板W之周緣部之感光性抗蝕膜F2藉由正型顯影去除。其後,基板W自顯影區塊13被搬送至導引區塊11,基板處理結束。After the development process, the substrate W uses the edge cleaning nozzle 35 to spray the cleaning liquid onto the peripheral edge of the substrate W rotated by the spin chuck 31 as shown in FIG. 14(c). As the cleaning liquid of FIG. 14(c), a liquid which dissolves the photosensitive resist film F2 and does not dissolve the metal-containing resist film F4 is used. Specifically, as the cleaning liquid, a developer such as an alkaline aqueous solution containing TMAH or KOH is used. By this, the edge cleaning process is performed, and the photosensitive resist film F2 remaining on the peripheral edge of the substrate W is removed by positive development. After that, the substrate W is transported from the development block 13 to the guide block 11, and the substrate processing ends.

於洗淨乾燥處理區塊14A,搬送裝置141(圖8)將載置於載置兼緩衝部PB1、PB2(圖11)之基板W搬送至洗淨乾燥處理部161之洗淨乾燥處理單元SD1(圖9)。繼而,搬送裝置141將基板W自洗淨乾燥處理單元SD1搬送至載置兼冷卻部PCP(圖11)。於該情形時,於洗淨乾燥處理單元SD1中,進行基板W之洗淨及乾燥處理後,於載置兼冷卻部PCP中,將基板W冷卻至適於曝光裝置15(圖8)中之曝光處理之溫度。In the washing and drying processing block 14A, the transport device 141 (Figure 8) transports the substrate W placed on the placement and buffering parts PB1 and PB2 (Figure 11) to the cleaning and drying processing unit SD1 of the cleaning and drying processing part 161 (Figure 9). Then, the conveying device 141 conveys the substrate W from the washing and drying processing unit SD1 to the placing and cooling unit PCP (FIG. 11 ). In this case, after washing and drying the substrate W in the washing and drying processing unit SD1, the substrate W is cooled in the placing and cooling part PCP to a temperature suitable for the exposure device 15 (FIG. 8) The temperature of the exposure treatment.

搬送裝置142(圖8)將載置於基板載置部P9之曝光處理後之基板W搬送至洗淨乾燥處理部162之洗淨乾燥處理單元SD2(圖10)。又,搬送裝置142將洗淨及乾燥處理後之基板W自洗淨乾燥處理單元SD2搬送至上段熱處理部103之加熱單元PHP或下段熱處理部104之加熱單元PHP。於該加熱單元PHP中,將基板W加熱至100℃~200℃,藉此對基板W進行PEB處理。The conveying device 142 (FIG. 8) conveys the substrate W after the exposure processing placed on the substrate placing portion P9 to the cleaning and drying processing unit SD2 of the cleaning and drying processing portion 162 (FIG. 10 ). In addition, the conveying device 142 conveys the substrate W after washing and drying from the washing and drying processing unit SD2 to the heating unit PHP of the upper heat treatment unit 103 or the heating unit PHP of the lower heat treatment unit 104. In the heating unit PHP, the substrate W is heated to 100° C. to 200° C., thereby performing PEB processing on the substrate W.

於搬入搬出區塊14B,搬送裝置143(圖8)將載置於載置兼冷卻部PCP之曝光處理前之基板W搬送至曝光裝置15。又,搬送裝置143自曝光裝置15取出曝光處理後之基板W,並將該基板W搬送至基板載置部P9。In the carry-in and carry-out block 14B, the transport device 143 (FIG. 8) transports the substrate W placed on the placement and cooling part PCP before the exposure processing to the exposure device 15. In addition, the transfer device 143 takes out the substrate W after the exposure processing from the exposure device 15 and transfers the substrate W to the substrate placement portion P9.

(4)效果 於本實施形態之基板處理裝置100中,感光性抗蝕膜F2以覆蓋下層膜F1之方式形成於基板W之被處理面之整個面而非僅形成於基板W之周緣部,感光性抗蝕膜F3形成於感光性抗蝕膜F2上。因此,含金屬抗蝕膜F4不會於基板W之周緣部附近***,而以均勻厚度形成於感光性抗蝕膜F3上。(4) Effect In the substrate processing apparatus 100 of this embodiment, the photosensitive resist film F2 is formed on the entire surface of the processed surface of the substrate W so as to cover the underlying film F1, not only on the periphery of the substrate W. The film F3 is formed on the photosensitive resist film F2. Therefore, the metal-containing resist film F4 does not swell near the periphery of the substrate W, but is formed on the photosensitive resist film F3 with a uniform thickness.

又,於將含金屬抗蝕膜F4之外周部去除時,即便於含金屬抗蝕膜F4之金屬成分殘留於感光性抗蝕膜F3之外周部之情形時,該金屬成分亦會連同感光性抗蝕膜F3之外周部一起被去除。進而,於使含金屬抗蝕膜F4顯影時,即便於含金屬抗蝕膜F4之金屬成分殘留於感光性抗蝕膜F2之外周部之情形時,該金屬成分亦會連同感光性抗蝕膜F2之外周部一起被去除。In addition, when the outer periphery of the metal-containing resist film F4 is removed, even if the metal component of the metal-containing resist film F4 remains on the outer periphery of the photosensitive resist film F3, the metal component will be combined with the photosensitive film F3. The outer periphery of the resist film F3 is removed together. Furthermore, when the metal-containing resist film F4 is developed, even if the metal component of the metal-containing resist film F4 remains on the outer periphery of the photosensitive resist film F2, the metal component will be combined with the photosensitive resist film. The outer periphery of F2 is removed together.

因此,即便於搬送裝置115、127、128、137、138、141~143保持基板W之周緣部之情形時,金屬成分亦不會附著於搬送裝置115、127、128,137、138、141~143。藉此,可防止產生金屬污染,並且於基板W上形成具有均勻膜厚之含金屬抗蝕膜F4。其結果,可有效利用基板W之周緣部附近之含金屬抗蝕膜F4之區域,而可防止良率下降。Therefore, even when the conveying devices 115, 127, 128, 137, 138, 141 to 143 hold the peripheral portion of the substrate W, the metal component does not adhere to the conveying devices 115, 127, 128, 137, 138, 141 to 143. Thereby, the occurrence of metal contamination can be prevented, and the metal-containing resist film F4 having a uniform film thickness can be formed on the substrate W. As a result, the area of the metal-containing resist film F4 near the peripheral edge of the substrate W can be effectively used, and the yield can be prevented from decreasing.

[3]其他實施形態 (1)於上述實施形態中,將未處理之基板W搬入至基板處理裝置100,利用基板處理裝置100於基板W之被處理面形成下層膜F1,但本發明並不限定於此。亦可將利用其他裝置於被處理面形成有下層膜F1之基板W搬入至基板處理裝置100。於該情形時,不利用基板處理裝置100形成下層膜F1。因此,塗佈處理單元20亦可不含用於形成下層膜F1之塗佈噴嘴23a。[3] Other implementation forms (1) In the above embodiment, the unprocessed substrate W is carried into the substrate processing apparatus 100, and the substrate processing apparatus 100 is used to form the underlayer film F1 on the processed surface of the substrate W, but the present invention is not limited to this. The substrate W on which the underlayer film F1 is formed on the surface to be processed by another apparatus may be carried into the substrate processing apparatus 100. In this case, the substrate processing apparatus 100 is not used to form the underlayer film F1. Therefore, the coating processing unit 20 may not include the coating nozzle 23a for forming the lower layer film F1.

(2)於上述實施形態中,基板處理亦可以其他順序進行。例如,於第1實施形態中,圖6(c)之邊緣曝光處理亦可於圖7(b)之邊緣清洗處理與圖7(c)之邊緣清洗處理之間進行。於第2實施形態中,圖12(c)之邊緣曝光處理亦可於圖13(a)之邊緣清洗處理與圖13(b)之邊緣清洗處理之間進行。(2) In the above embodiment, the substrate processing can also be performed in other order. For example, in the first embodiment, the edge exposure treatment of FIG. 6(c) can also be performed between the edge cleaning treatment of FIG. 7(b) and the edge cleaning treatment of FIG. 7(c). In the second embodiment, the edge exposure process of FIG. 12(c) can also be performed between the edge cleaning process of FIG. 13(a) and the edge cleaning process of FIG. 13(b).

(3)於上述實施形態中,塗佈處理單元20包含複數個塗佈噴嘴23,但本發明並不限定於此。亦可構成為塗佈處理單元20包含單個塗佈噴嘴23且該塗佈噴嘴23可噴出複數種塗佈液。(3) In the above embodiment, the coating processing unit 20 includes a plurality of coating nozzles 23, but the present invention is not limited to this. It may also be configured that the coating processing unit 20 includes a single coating nozzle 23 and the coating nozzle 23 can eject a plurality of coating liquids.

同樣地,於上述實施形態中,塗佈處理單元20包含複數個邊緣清洗噴嘴25,但本發明並不限定於此。亦可構成為塗佈處理單元20包含單個邊緣清洗噴嘴25且該邊緣清洗噴嘴25可噴出複數種清洗液。Similarly, in the above embodiment, the coating processing unit 20 includes a plurality of edge cleaning nozzles 25, but the present invention is not limited to this. It may also be configured that the coating processing unit 20 includes a single edge cleaning nozzle 25 and the edge cleaning nozzle 25 can spray a plurality of cleaning liquids.

(4)於上述實施形態中,於塗佈區塊12將不同種類之處理液(例如有機溶劑及水溶液)用作清洗液。因此,亦可於塗佈區塊12設置用於將包含有機溶劑之清洗液與包含水溶液之清洗液分離回收之機構。(4) In the above embodiment, different types of processing liquids (such as organic solvents and aqueous solutions) are used as cleaning liquids in the coating block 12. Therefore, a mechanism for separating and recovering the cleaning liquid containing an organic solvent and the cleaning liquid containing an aqueous solution may also be provided in the coating block 12.

同樣地,於第2實施形態中,於顯影區塊13將不同種類之處理液用作顯影液及清洗液。因此,亦可於顯影區塊13設置用於將顯影液與清洗液分離回收之機構。於該等情形時,可降低處理液之廢棄成本。Similarly, in the second embodiment, different types of processing liquids are used as the developer and the cleaning liquid in the development block 13. Therefore, it is also possible to provide a mechanism for separating and recovering the developer and the cleaning liquid in the development block 13. Under these circumstances, the disposal cost of the treatment liquid can be reduced.
