Patent ID: 8342761

Claim:
A coating and developing apparatus comprising: a carrier block configured to receive a substrate carried by a carrier; a coating and developing block configured to coat a resist layer on the substrate transferred from the carrier block and develop the resist layer after an exposure of the resist layer: and an interface block configured to transfer the substrate between the coating and developing block and an exposure apparatus, wherein the coating and developing block further comprising: a coating unit configured to coat the resist layer on the substrate transferred to the coating and developing block from the carrier block, the coating unit includes a coating part configured to coat the resist layer on the substrate and a first heating part corresponding to the coating part configured to heat the substrate coated with the resist layer, and a developing unit stacked on or below the coating unit and configured to develop the substrate exposed at the exposing apparatus after the substrate is returned from the exposure apparatus, the developing unit includes a second heating part configured to heat the substrate, a cooling part provided adjacent to the second heating part, and a developing part provided corresponding to the cooling part, wherein the coating part and the first heating part are arranged in a straight line, the second heating part, the cooling part and the developing part are arranged in a straight line sequentially, and the cooling part transfers the substrate from the second heating part to the developing part while cooling the substrate to a predetermined temperature.
