Abstract:
Exhaust of gas in the processing chamber is started by a gas exhaust section, and supply of an inert gas into the processing chamber is started by a gas supply section after a predetermined time length has elapsed since the exhaust of gas is started. Alternatively, the gas in the processing chamber in which a substrate is stored is exhausted by the gas exhaust section, the inert gas is supplied into the processing chamber by the gas supply section, and the pressure in a light emitter that has a light-transmitting plate is allowed to match or be close to the pressure in the processing chamber. The substrate in the processing chamber is irradiated with vacuum ultraviolet rays by the light emitter with an oxygen concentration in the gas in the processing chamber lowered to a predetermined concentration. Thus, the substrate is exposed.

Claim (Index 13):
An exposure device comprising:\n a processing chamber that stores a substrate; a light emitter that has a light-transmitting window member, and emits vacuum ultraviolet rays to the substrate in the processing chamber through the window member; a first gas exhaust section for exhausting gas in the processing chamber; a first gas supply section for supplying an inert gas into the processing chamber; a pressure controller that controls pressure in the light emitter such that pressure in the light emitter matches or is close to pressure in the processing chamber; and a light emission controller that controls the light emitter such that the substrate is exposed by irradiance of the substrate in the processing chamber with the vacuum ultraviolet rays with an oxygen concentration in the gas in the processing chamber lowered to a predetermined concentration.
