Abstract

See full text

A substrate processing apparatus is provided with five inspection devices that perform inspections of different kinds to a substrate. Among the five kinds of inspections, the film quality is measured after resist coating, and before post-coating heat-treatment. As the film quality, the amount of solvent remaining in a resist film is measured. The film thickness is measured after heat-treatment following resist coating and before exposure. Meanwhile, the line width and the superposition precision are measured and macroscopic defect inspection is performed after post-development heat-treatment and before the substrate is returned to an indexer.
