Patent ID: 11833551

Abstract:
A preprocess is efficiently performed on a substrate. A pre-wet module 200 includes a deaeration tank 210, a processing device 258, a substrate holder 220, and a drive mechanism 230. The deaeration tank 210 is configured to house a deaerated liquid. The processing device 258 includes a nozzle 268 configured to supply a cleaning liquid to a surface to be processed of a substrate having the surface to be processed facing upward. The substrate holder 220 is disposed between the deaeration tank 210 and the processing device 258. The substrate holder 220 includes a first holding member 222 configured to hold a first substrate and a second holding member 224 configured to hold a second substrate. The drive mechanism 230 is configured to rotate and move up and down the substrate holder 220. The drive mechanism 230 includes a rotation mechanism 240 and an elevating mechanism 248. The rotation mechanism 240 is configured to rotate the substrate holder 220 between a first state where a surface to be processed of the first substrate is opposed to a deaerated liquid in the deaeration tank 210 and a second state where a surface to be processed of the second substrate is opposed to the deaerated liquid in the deaeration tank. The elevating mechanism 248 is configured to move up and down the substrate holder 220.
