Patent ID: 8020240

Claim:
A substrate treatment apparatus comprising: a substrate holding mechanism for holding a substrate; a brush made of an elastically deformable material and having a cleaning surface formed in a shape tapered toward one side in a perpendicular direction, perpendicular to one surface of the substrate held by the substrate holding mechanism, and inclined with respect to the perpendicular direction; a brush moving mechanism for moving the brush with respect to the substrate held by the substrate holding mechanism; a control unit for controlling the brush moving mechanism so that a peripheral portion of the substrate held by the substrate holding mechanism is pushed into the cleaning surface of the brush, and the cleaning surface is pushed to a peripheral area on the one surface and to a peripheral end face of the substrate held by the substrate holding mechanism; and a recipe input device linked with the control unit, for receiving a pushing amount of the brush to the peripheral end face of the substrate held by the substrate holding mechanism, input by a user, and providing said pushing amount to the control unit, the control unit arranged to control the brush moving mechanism on the basis of the pushing amount.
