Abstract
There is provided an apparatus for treating a substrate using a plurality of treatment solutions in sequence. The apparatus includes treatment liquid collecting vessels for separately collecting used treatment solutions, and an exhaust member for separately discharging pollutant gases generated during a process.
Claims21
An apparatus for treating a substrate using a plurality of treatment solutions, the apparatus comprising:
- a supporting member receiving the substrate thereon and rotating the substrate;
- a treatment liquid supplying member supplying the treatment solutions to the substrate placed on the supporting member;
- a treatment liquid collecting member forming a space for placing the supporting member and including a plurality of treatment liquid collecting vessels arranged for separately collecting the treatment solutions supplied from the treatment liquid supplying member;
- an exhaust member separately discharging pollutant gases generated from the treatment solutions during the treatment of the substrate;
- and
- a lifting member moving at least one of the supporting member and the treatment liquid collecting member so as to change a height of the supporting member relative to inlets of the treatment liquid collecting vessels.

- a treatment liquid supplying member supplying the treatment solutions to the substrate placed on the supporting member;
- and
- a treatment liquid collecting member forming a space therein for placing the supporting member and including passages for separately collecting the treatment solutions supplied from the treatment liquid supplying member,
- wherein the treatment liquid collecting member comprises:
- an inner base including a bottom wall, an inner wall, and an outer wall that form a space for receiving the treatment solution, the inner base being formed with a drain hole for discharging the treatment solution;
- an outer base surrounding the inner base and including a bottom wall and an outer wall that form a space for receiving the treatment solution, the outer base being formed with a drain hole for discharging the treatment solution;
- an inner guide disposed on the outer wall of the inner base and providing a passage to introduce the treatment solution into the space formed in the inner base;
- and
- an outer guide disposed on the outer wall of the outer base and providing a passage to introduce the treatment solution into the space formed in the outer base,
- wherein the inner guide is disposed on the outer wall of the inner base by a groove-protrusion engagement structure formed on an upper end of the outer wall of the inner base and a lower end of the inner guide, and the outer guide is disposed on the outer wall of the inner base by a groove-protrusion engagement structure formed on an upper end of the outer wall of the outer base and a lower end of the outer guide.
