Abstract

See full text

The system comprises a multistage spin unit having a plurality of compartments stacked vertically in a multistage, a main arm mechanism comprising a wafer holder and driving means for causing the wafer holder to advance and retreat longitudinally, moving the wafer holder up and down along a vertical shaft and turning the wafer holder around the vertical shaft, a spin chuck provided on each of the compartments for holding and spin-rotating the wafer delivered by the main arm mechanism, a cup for surrounding the spin chuck to receive and discharge a treatment solution separated from the substrate by centrifugal force, a shared nozzle for supplying the treatment solution toward the substrate held by the spin chuck in the compartment, a nozzle moving passageway provided along the multistage spin unit for communicating with each compartment to move the shared nozzle therethrough, and a nozzle moving mechanism for moving the shared nozzle.
