Abstract:
When a substrate on which a fine pattern is formed is dried with vapor, prevention of collapse of the pattern due to water originally contained in IPA to be stored has been a problem to be solved. A mixed liquid stored in a mixed liquid storage is vaporized to generate mixed vapor containing the IPA and water (water vapor). Then, a vapor dewatering unit connected to a vapor supply pipe through which the mixed vapor is fed removes water in the mixed vapor. This can reduce the concentration of water originally contained in the IPA to be stored before the IPA is supplied to the substrate, thereby suppressing collapse of the pattern.

Claim (Index 3):
The vapor supplying apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein\n said vapor dewatering unit includes a drainage pipe connected to at least one of said separating section and said absorbing section, and said mixed liquid generated resulting from condensation of said mixed vapor in at least one of said separating section and said absorbing section is emitted through said drainage pipe.
