Abstract
【解決手段】近接ヘッド106は、ソース供給口1302,1306およびソース排出口1304を含む。窒素ガスに含有されるイソプロピルアルコール蒸気1310がソース供給口1302を通じてウエハ表面に供給され、真空1312がソース排出口1304を通じてウエハ表面に供給され、処理液がソース供給口1306を通じてウエハ表面に供給される。流体メニスカス140は、ウエハ表面108aから処理液1310を除去するために真空1312を供給することに加えて、処理液1310を供給することによって、生成することができる。流体メニスカス140は、近接ヘッド106とウエハ表面との間に形成される流体層であり、安定した且つ制御可能な状態でウエハ表面108aを横切って移動することができる。
