Abstract

A drying processing apparatus for supplying a dry gas to a processing chamber, which houses therein semiconductor wafers W, to dry the semiconductor wafers, comprises: a heater 32 for heating N2 gas serving as a carrier gas; a vapor generator 34 for making IPA misty by using the N2 gas heated by the heater 32 and for heating the IPA to produce said dry gas. Thus, it is possible to improve the efficiency of heat transfer of the carrier gas, and it is possible to increase the amount of produced IPA gas and decrease the time to produce IPA gas. In addition, it is possible to prevent the turbulence of atmosphere in the processing chamber after the drying processing is completed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for drying an object to be processed such as a semiconductor wafer or a glass substrate for a liquid crystal display (LCD) by contacting with a drying gas. Background technique [0002] In general, in the manufacturing process of semiconductor manufacturing, the process of sequentially immersing a processing object such as a semiconductor wafer or glass for LCD (hereinafter referred to as a crystal) in a processing liquid such as a storage chemical liquid or a rinse liquid (cleaning liquid) is widely used. A cleaning treatment method in which the tank is treated for cleaning. In addition, this cleaning treatment device is provided with a drying treatment device, in which the surface of the crystal after cleaning is contacted with a dry gas composed of a volatile solvent vapor such as IPA (isopropanol). , A drying treatment device that condenses or adsorbs the vapor of the drying gas to remove ...
