- Patent Document 1 As such a single-wafer type substrate processing apparatus, as disclosed in Patent Document 1 below, a heater is built in a spin base of a spin chuck, and a substrate placed on the spin base is heated to a high temperature by the heater. ing. For this reason, the temperature of the chemical solution in contact with the surface of the substrate is raised, and the processing capability of the chemical solution can be increased. As a result, the processing rate of the chemical processing can be improved.
- the surface temperature of the spin base may be raised to a very high temperature.
- the amount of power supplied to the heater is limited because it is necessary to supply power to the heater built in the rotatable spin base via the rotating electrical contact. Therefore, there is an upper limit on the set temperature of the heater. is there. Therefore, there is a possibility that the substrate cannot be heated to a desired high temperature.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a substrate processing apparatus capable of executing a low temperature treatment immediately after a high temperature treatment using a heater.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a substrate processing apparatus capable of heating a substrate to a desired high temperature using a heater.

- a substrate processing apparatus including a moving means for moving one of them.
- the distance between the heater and the substrate held by the substrate holding means can be changed.
- the substrate is heated to a high temperature by the heater. From this state, the amount of heat applied to the substrate can be reduced by greatly increasing the distance between the heater and the substrate, thereby cooling the substrate. That is, the low temperature treatment can be executed within a short time after the high temperature treatment using the heater.
- the heater since the heater is not supported by the substrate holding means, the heater is stationary without rotating even when the substrate is rotating. That is, it is not necessary to make the heater rotatable, and therefore it is not necessary to supply power to the heater via the rotating electrical contact. Therefore, since the amount of power supplied to the heater is not limited, the substrate can be heated to a desired high temperature.
- the heater has a facing surface facing the substrate held in the substrate holding means in parallel, and heats the substrate by radiant heat of the facing surface.
- the surface is divided into a plurality of opposing regions that can vary the amount of heat generation per unit area.
- the opposed surface of the heater is divided into a plurality of opposed regions, and the temperature of the opposed regions is individually adjusted. Therefore, for example, by adjusting the plurality of facing regions to a uniform temperature, the entire surface of the facing surface can be maintained at a uniform temperature.
- the heat generation amount per unit area of the plurality of opposed regions is set so as to increase as the distance from the rotation axis due to the rotation of the substrate by the substrate rotating means increases.
- the processing liquid when a high-temperature processing liquid is supplied from the processing liquid supply means to the central portion of the substrate surface, the processing liquid is hot immediately after being supplied to the central portion of the substrate surface, but from the central portion of the substrate. In the process of flowing toward the peripheral edge of the substrate, the liquid temperature is lowered. Therefore, on the surface of the substrate, the temperature of the processing liquid is relatively high at the central portion, the temperature of the processing liquid is relatively low at the peripheral portion, and heat exchange between the processing liquid and the surrounding atmosphere, The temperature at the center of the substrate surface is relatively high, and the temperature at the peripheral edge of the substrate surface is relatively low.
- the temperature of the processing liquid can be made equal throughout the substrate. Thereby, it is possible to perform uniform processing with the processing liquid over the entire surface of the substrate.
- the plurality of opposed regions may include a circular region centered on the rotation axis and one or a plurality of annular regions surrounding the outer periphery of the circular region.
- At least one of the annular regions is divided into a plurality of divided regions in the circumferential direction, and the plurality of divided regions are provided so that the calorific values per unit area of the facing surface can be made different from each other. It is preferable.
- the opposed surface of the heater is divided into a plurality of opposed regions in the circumferential direction, and the temperature of the opposed regions can be adjusted individually. Thereby, even if it is a case where the opposing surface of a heater enlarges, an opposing surface can be maintained at uniform temperature regarding the circumferential direction.
- the substrate holding means includes a plate-like base portion and a substrate support portion attached to the base portion and supporting the substrate in a state of being separated from the base portion, and the heater includes the base portion, It may be accommodated in a space defined by the substrate supported by the substrate support.
- the heater support portion includes a support rod that is inserted in the thickness direction without contacting the base portion and has one end connected to the heater. .
- the support rod passes through the base portion in the thickness direction without contacting the base portion. Therefore, the heater accommodated in the space between the base portion and the substrate can be supported in a state independent of the substrate holding means. Thereby, support of such a heater is realizable with a comparatively simple structure.

- the first and second chemical nozzles 4 and 5 are respectively disposed at the home positions so as not to hinder the loading of the wafer W.
- the heat generation amount per unit area of the first to third opposing surfaces 29A, 29B, and 29C remains a predetermined value. In other words, the output level of the heater 3 does not change.
- the control unit 40 controls the heater lifting mechanism 23 to control the heater lifting mechanism 23 so that the heater 3 is moved to the uppermost third position. Increase to height level HL3.
- the distance W3 between the lower surface of the wafer W held by the spin chuck 2 and the opposed surface 29 of the heater 3 is, for example, 0.5 mm.
- the wafer W held by the spin chuck 2 is heated by radiant heat from the heater 3.
- the first, second, and third opposing surfaces 29A, 29B, and 29C and the lower surface of the wafer W are parallel to each other. Therefore, the amount of heat per unit area given from the heater 3 to the portion of the wafer W facing the third facing surface 29C is larger than the amount of heat per unit area given to the portion of the wafer W facing the second facing surface 29B.

- the control unit 40 controls the spin motor 14 to start rotating the wafer W (step S2).
- the wafer W is accelerated to a predetermined liquid processing speed (for example, 500-1000 rpm), and then maintained at the liquid processing speed.
- the control unit 40 opens the SPM liquid valve 17 and discharges an SPM liquid of about 160 ° C. from the first chemical liquid nozzle 4, for example.
- the SPM liquid discharged from the first chemical liquid nozzle 4 is supplied to the central portion of the surface of the rotating wafer W (step S3: SPM liquid supply process).
- the SPM liquid supplied to the surface of the wafer W receives centrifugal force due to the rotation of the wafer W and flows on the surface of the wafer W toward the peripheral portion.
- the SPM liquid spreads over the entire surface of the wafer W, and the resist formed on the surface of the wafer W is peeled off by the strong oxidizing power of peroxomonosulfuric acid contained in the SPM liquid.
- the resist peeled from the surface of the wafer W is washed away by the SPM liquid and removed from the surface of the wafer W. Thereby, the reaction between the resist on the surface of the wafer W and the SPM liquid is promoted, and the removal of the resist from the surface of the wafer W proceeds.
- the SPM liquid supplied to the center of the surface of the wafer W exchanges heat with the surrounding atmosphere. Therefore, heat is removed from the wafer W from the SPM liquid in the process of flowing from the central portion toward the peripheral portion on the surface of the wafer W. As a result of heat exchange between the SPM liquid and the wafer W, heat may be taken from the peripheral edge of the wafer W. The amount of heat taken away from the wafer W increases as it goes toward the peripheral edge of the surface of the wafer W.
- a higher amount of heat per unit area is given to the wafer W as it moves away from the rotation axis A1. More specifically, at this time, the first, second and third opposing surfaces 29A, 29B, and 29C are arranged so that the amount of heat deprived from the wafer W from the amount of heat applied to the wafer W becomes uniform at various points on the wafer W at this time.
- the calorific value per unit area is set. As a result, the surface temperature of the wafer W is uniformly distributed at about 160 ° C. throughout the entire area. Thereby, the process by the SPM liquid can be uniformly performed on the entire surface of the wafer W.
- the control unit 40 closes the SPM liquid valve 17 and moves the first chemical liquid nozzle 4 from the rotation center of the wafer W to the home position.
- the control unit 40 controls the heater lifting mechanism 23 to lower the heater 3 to the second height level HL2, which is a lower position than the third height level HL3.
- the distance W2 between the lower surface of the wafer W held by the spin chuck 2 and the opposed surface 29 of the heater 3 is, for example, 10 mm.
- the wafer W held on the spin chuck 2 is heated to about 80 ° C. by the radiant heat from the heater 3, although there are variations in various places. That is, when the heater 3 is lowered, the wafer W that has been about 160 ° C. is cooled.
- the control unit 40 opens the high temperature rinse liquid valve 37 and rotates the wafer W from the discharge port of the high temperature rinse liquid nozzle 35 as shown in FIG. 6E.
- About 80 ° C. DIW is supplied toward the vicinity of the center (step S4: intermediate rinsing step).
- the DIW supplied to the surface of the wafer W receives centrifugal force due to the rotation of the wafer W and flows on the surface of the wafer W toward the peripheral edge of the wafer W. Thereby, the SPM liquid adhering to the surface of the wafer W is washed away by DIW.
- the DIW flows to the peripheral portion of the wafer W without a temperature drop from about 80 ° C.
- the heater 3 does not cool down immediately after being turned off from on. Therefore, if the heater 3 is arranged at the third height level HL3, the heater 3 continues to heat the wafer W with a large amount of heat for a while after the heater 3 is turned off. For this reason, it takes a considerably long time for the temperature of the heater 3 to be sufficiently lowered, and as a result, the processing time of the entire resist removal process may be increased.
- the heating amount to the wafer W is reduced by greatly increasing the interval between the heater 3 and the wafer W from the interval W3 to the interval W2 after the completion of the SPM liquid supply process in step S3. Yes. Thereby, the wafer W can be cooled. As a result, the intermediate rinsing process of step S4 can be started within a short time after the end of the SPM liquid supply process of step S3.
- the hot rinse liquid valve 37 is closed and the supply of DIW to the surface of the wafer W is stopped. Further, as shown in FIG. 6F, the control unit 40 controls the heater lifting mechanism 23 to lower the heater 3 to the first height level HL1, which is a height position lower than the second height level HL2. .
- the interval W1 between the lower surface of the wafer W held by the spin chuck 2 and the opposed surface 29 of the heater 3 is, for example, 20 mm.
- the wafer W held by the spin chuck 2 is heated by radiant heat from the heater 3.
- the first, second and third opposing surfaces 29A, 29B, 29C and the lower surface of the wafer W are parallel to each other. Therefore, the amount of heat per unit area given from the heater 3 to the portion of the wafer W facing the third facing surface 29C is larger than the amount of heat per unit area given to the portion of the wafer W facing the second facing surface 29B.
- the amount of heat per unit area given from the heater 3 to the portion of the wafer W facing the second facing surface 29B is larger than the amount of heat per unit area given to the portion of the wafer W facing the first facing surface 29A. .
- the amount of heat per unit area given to the wafer W is set to increase as the distance from the rotation axis A1 increases. Due to the heating by the heater 3, the surface temperature of the wafer W is heated to about 60 ° C. although there are variations in various parts of the wafer W. That is, as the heater 3 is lowered, the surface temperature of the wafer W is lowered from about 80 ° C. to about 60 ° C. Further, the control unit 40 controls the second nozzle moving mechanism 21 to move the second chemical solution nozzle 5 to a position above the wafer W.
- the control unit 40 opens the SC1 valve 20 and discharges, for example, about 60 ° C. SC1 from the second chemical liquid nozzle 5. Since SC1 has a liquid temperature of about 60 ° C., the processing capacity of SC1 is high. SC1 discharged from the second chemical liquid nozzle 5 is supplied to the central portion of the surface of the rotating wafer W (step S5: SC1 supply process). The SC 1 supplied to the surface of the wafer W receives a centrifugal force due to the rotation of the wafer W and flows on the surface of the wafer W toward the peripheral portion. Thereby, SC1 is supplied uniformly over the entire surface of the wafer W, and foreign substances such as resist residues and particles adhering to the surface of the wafer W can be removed by the chemical ability of SC1.
- the SC1 solution supplied to the center of the surface of the wafer W exchanges heat with the surrounding atmosphere. Therefore, heat is removed from the wafer W from the SC 1 in the process of flowing from the central portion toward the peripheral portion on the surface of the wafer W. As a result of heat exchange between SC1 and wafer W, heat may be taken from the peripheral portion of wafer W. The amount of heat taken away from the wafer W increases as it goes toward the peripheral edge of the surface of the wafer W.
- a higher amount of heat per unit area is given to the wafer W as it moves away from the rotation axis A1. More specifically, at this time, the first, second and third opposing surfaces 29A, 29B, and 29C are arranged so that the amount of heat deprived from the wafer W from the amount of heat applied to the wafer W becomes uniform at various points on the wafer W at this time.
- the calorific value per unit area is set. As a result, the surface temperature of the wafer W is uniformly distributed at about 60 ° C. throughout the entire area. Thereby, the process by SC1 can be uniformly performed to the whole surface of the wafer W.
- the control unit 40 closes the SC1 valve 20. Further, as shown in FIG. 6H, the control unit 40 controls the heater lifting mechanism 23 to lower the heater 3 to the 0th height level HL0 which is a lower position than the first height level HL1. .
- the interval W0 between the lower surface of the wafer W held by the spin chuck 2 and the opposed surface 29 of the heater 3 is, for example, 40 mm. In this state, the distance between the heater 3 and the wafer W held by the spin chuck 2 is excessively wide, so that the radiant heat reaching the wafer W from the heater 3 is small and the influence on the wafer W is small. In other words, the wafer W is not heated by the heater 3. At this time, the surface temperature of the wafer W remains at room temperature.
- the control unit 40 opens the room temperature rinse liquid valve 32 and opens the wafer W from the discharge port of the room temperature rinse liquid nozzle 30 as shown in FIG.
- Room temperature DIW is supplied toward the vicinity of the center of rotation (step S6: final rinse step).
- the DIW supplied to the surface of the wafer W receives centrifugal force due to the rotation of the wafer W and flows on the surface of the wafer W toward the peripheral edge of the wafer W. Thereby, SC1 adhering to the surface of the wafer W is washed away by DIW.
- the DIW is not heated through the wafer W.
- step S7 the spin dry described below (step S7) is executed.
- the control unit 40 controls the heater lifting mechanism 23 so that the heater 3 The height is raised from the zero height level HL0 to the first height level HL1.

- a predetermined high rotation speed for example, 1500 ⁇ (2500 rpm
- spin drying is performed by shaking off the DIW adhering to the wafer W (step S7).
- the DIW adhering to the wafer W is removed by this spin drying.
- the surface temperature of the wafer W is heated to about 60 ° C. by the radiant heat from the heater 3 at the first height level HL1, although there are variations in various parts of the wafer W. Therefore, DIW adhering to the wafer W is likely to evaporate, thereby reducing the time required for spin drying.
- the control unit 40 drives the spin motor 14 to stop the rotation of the spin chuck 2. Further, the control unit 40 turns off the heater 3 (non-driving state) and controls the heater lifting mechanism 23 to lower the heater 3 to the 0th height level HL0. As a result, the resist removal process for one wafer W is completed, and the processed wafer W is unloaded from the processing chamber 6 by the transfer robot (step S8).
