Patent ID: 8770138

Claim:
A semiconductor manufacturing apparatus comprising: a holding mechanism configured to hold a substrate rotatably; a nozzle configured to supply a processing solution for performing a plating process on a processing target surface of the substrate; a substrate rotating mechanism configured to rotate the substrate held by the holding mechanism in a direction along the processing target surface; a nozzle driving mechanism configured to move the nozzle in a direction along the processing target surface at a position facing the processing target surface of the substrate held by the holding mechanism; and a control unit configured to control the supply of the processing solution by the nozzle and the movement of the nozzle by the nozzle driving mechanism, wherein the control unit is configured to perform a first supplying process for supplying the processing solution while the nozzle driving mechanism moves the nozzle between a central portion and a periphery portion of the substrate, and the control unit is configured to perform a second supplying process for supplying the processing solution after the nozzle driving mechanism locates the nozzle at a preset position distanced away from an approximate center position of the substrate.
