Application: Substrate processing device and substrate processing method (Patent ID: US20240207900A1)
The patent filed by Screen Holdings Co Ltd describes a substrate processing device that includes cleaning devices and a main robot for carrying substrates in and out of the cleaning devices. The cleaning devices have a processing chamber with a brush cleaner to clean the lower surface of the substrate and a cleaning nozzle for brush cleaning liquid. The controller stops the supply of the cleaning liquid during substrate carry-in and carry-out operations. Additionally, the device includes a transport holder, a transport driver, and a brush mover to facilitate the cleaning process efficiently.
Furthermore, the patent outlines a substrate processing method involving holding the substrate with a first holder, cleaning the lower surface with a brush, and performing processing with a second holder. The method includes relative moving operations to switch between holders and stopping the supply of cleaning liquid during these movements. The patent also details a substrate cleaning method that involves moving the brush between cleaning and waiting positions, holding the substrate with different holders, and performing processing while controlling the supply of cleaning liquid. The method also includes adjusting the supply state of the cleaning liquid based on input conditions during processing.
