Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An apparatus for treating a substrate includes an injecting member having a first nozzle configured to supply a first chemical to the substrate that is mounted on the supporting unit, and a second nozzle configured to supply a second chemical, which is different from the first chemical, to the substrate that is mounted on the supporting unit, and a controller configured to supply the first chemical before supplying the second chemicals and to control the first chemical, which is variable according to a type of thin film on the substrate mounted on the supporting unit, to be supplied.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . An apparatus for treating a substrate, the apparatus comprising: a housing configured to provide an internal space for a substrate treating process; a supporting unit on that the substrate is mounted in the housing; an injecting member having a first nozzle configured to supply a first chemical to the substrate that is mounted on the supporting unit, and a second nozzle configured to supply a second chemical, which is different from the first chemicals, to the substrate that is mounted on the supporting unit; and a controller configured to supply the first chemical before supplying the second chemical and to control the first chemical, which is variable according to a type of thin film on the substrate mounted on the supporting unit, to be supplied. 2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to control the first chemical to be supplied as a chemical, which contains isopropyl alcohol, if the thin film is a hydrophobic film. 3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to control the first chemical to be supplied as a chemical, which contains deionized water, if the thin film is a hydrophilic film. 4 . A method for treating a substrate, the method comprising: pre-treating the substrate by supplying a pre-wetting chemical to the substrate; and treating the substrate by supplying a treatment chemical to the substrate after the pre-treating, wherein the pre-treating comprises supplying the pre-wetting chemical that is variable according to a type of thin film on the substrate. 5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein if the thin film is a hydrophobic film, the pre-wetting chemical contains isopropyl alcohol. 6 . The method of claim 4 , wherein if the thin film is a hydrophilic film, the pre-wetting chemical contains deionized water.
