Title:
FLUID SUPPLY SYSTEM, SUBSTRATE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND SUBSTRATE PROCESSING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/085000
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A fluid supply system according to one embodiment of the present disclosure supplies a fluid into a process chamber in which a substrate is processed, and this fluid supply system comprises: a first fluid supply unit which has a first supply valve and supplies a first fluid; a second fluid supply unit which has a second supply valve and supplies a second fluid; a fluid supply path which is connected to the first fluid supply unit, the second fluid supply unit and the process chamber, and supplies the first fluid and the second fluid into the process chamber; a heating mechanism which heats the first fluid and the second fluid, while being provided on the fluid supply path at a position that is in the downstream of the positions at which the first fluid supply unit and the second fluid supply unit are connected to the fluid supply path; and a control unit which controls those units of this fluid supply system. The control unit executes: a process in which the second supply valve is opened so as to supply the second fluid, which has been heated by the heating mechanism, into the process chamber when the first fluid is not supplied into the process chamber; and a process in which the second supply valve is closed so as to stop the supply of the second fluid into the process chamber before the substrate is carried into the process chamber. The second fluid supply process comprises a step for setting the set temperature of the heating mechanism to the same temperature as the set temperature of the heating mechanism at the time when the firs fluid is supplied into the process chamber.
