Abstract:
A resist processing apparatus for performing a resist process on a substrate, comprising:a coating unit for coating a resist film on surface of the substrate;an interface unit for passing a substrate between the interface unit itself and an exposure device;a heat treatment unit for carrying out a heat treatment on said substrate having the surface on which the resist film is formed by the coating unit, said resist film being exposed to light by the exposure device;a cooling unit for cooling said substrate on which the heat treatment was carried out by said heat treatment unit;a development unit for developing said resist film formed on the surface of said substrate which was cooled by said cooling unit;substrate carrying means for carrying said substrate between said heat treatment unit, said cooling unit, said development unit and said interface unit; anda control unit configured to control an operation of at least said heat treatment unit and said substrate conveying means and of changing a required time for a post-exposure-baking process at said heat treatment unit in accordance with a required time for a process of said substrate at said exposure device.
