Abstract:
A processing fluid supply apparatus (70) according to one aspect of the present disclosure is provided with a supply line (61), a cooling unit, a pump (75), a return line (90), a heating unit, and a flow volume adjustment mechanism. The supply line (61) supplies a processing fluid from a processing fluid supply source (60) to a substrate processing apparatus (1), the processing fluid supply source (60) supplying the processing fluid in gaseous state. The cooling unit is provided in the supply line (61), and generates a processing fluid in liquid state by cooling the processing fluid in gaseous state. The pump (75) is provided downstream of the cooling unit in the supply line (61). The return line (90), which is branched from a branch portion (76) positioned downstream of the pump (75) in the supply line (61), returns the processing fluid to a converging portion (71) positioned upstream of the cooling unit in the supply line (61). The heating unit is provided in the return line (90) to heat the processing fluid. The flow volume adjustment mechanism adjusts the flow volume of the processing fluid supplied to the heating unit.
