Abstract:
A substrate treatment method according to the present invention is a substrate treatment method of treating at least one substrate in a treatment tank with treatment liquid. The substrate treatment method includes the following processes of: acquiring in advance treatment information of the substrate to be treated in the treatment tank; specifying a predicted concentration change pattern corresponding to the acquired treatment information of the substrate by referencing correspondence information describing a plurality of situations possible for the treatment information and a plurality of concentration change patterns of the treatment liquid prepared in advance to respectively correspond to the plurality of situations of the treatment information; and carrying out concentration control of the treatment liquid based on the predicted concentration change pattern while the substrate is treated in the treatment tank.

Claim (Index 11):
A substrate treatment method of a substrate treatment apparatus having: a treatment tank that stores treatment liquid and immerses at least one substrate in said stored treatment liquid to carry out substrate treatment of said substrate; a backup tank that is separately provided from said treatment tank, the backup tank replenishing replenishment liquid prepared to a predetermined concentration toward said treatment tank; liquid sending means that sends said replenishment liquid from said backup tank toward said treatment tank; and a storage part that in advance stores correspondence information describing a plurality of situations possible for treatment information about said substrate to be immersed in said treatment tank and describing a plurality of concentration change patterns of said treatment liquid prepared in advance to respectively correspond to the plurality of situations of said treatment information, the substrate treatment method including the following processes of:\n acquiring in advance treatment information about said substrate to be immersed in said treatment tank; specifying a predicted concentration change pattern corresponding to said acquired treatment information of said substrate by referencing said correspondence information; predicting a future concentration of said treatment liquid based on said specified predicted concentration change pattern; specifying the concentration of said replenishment liquid capable of changing said future concentration; preparing said replenishment liquid in said backup tank in advance before replenishing said replenishment liquid from said backup tank toward said treatment tank; and sending said prepared replenishment liquid from said backup tank toward said treatment tank during said substrate treatment.
