Patent ID: 8885140

Claim:
A substrate treatment apparatus for performing, in a treatment block, solution treatment on a substrate taken out of a carrier, which is transferred into a carrier block, being a substrate transfer container, performing post-treatment in a treatment module subsequent to the solution treatment, and delivering the substrate which has been subjected to a series of treatments including the solution treatment and the post-treatment to the carrier, said apparatus comprising: a solution treatment section provided in said treatment block and including a solution treatment module configured such that a cup body surrounds a periphery of a substrate holding part horizontally holding the substrate, and a plurality of nozzles prepared for respective kinds of treatment solutions corresponding to lots of substrates; a transfer mechanism for transferring the substrate in said treatment block; a monitoring section monitoring whether there is a failure in discharge of the treatment solution in said nozzle; and a control unit outputting a control signal to prohibit the solution treatment in said solution treatment section for a substrate scheduled to be treated using a nozzle determined to have a failure by said monitoring section and to perform the solution treatment in said solution treatment section for a substrate scheduled to be treated using a nozzle other than the nozzle determined to have a failure.
