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 10):
The vapor supplying apparatus according to  claim 9 , further comprising\n a pipe for outflow through which said mixed liquid stored in said mixed liquid storage flows outwardly, wherein said sensor senses the concentration of said low surface tension liquid or that of water contained in said mixed liquid using said mixed liquid flowing outwardly from said pipe for outflow.
