Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A substrate treatment method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a temperature raising step of raising a temperature of a concentrated sulfuric acid, and a liquid supply step of supplying the concentrated sulfuric acid having the raised temperature to a substrate placed on a substrate processing part.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A substrate treatment method, comprising: a temperature raising step of raising a temperature of a concentrated sulfuric acid; and a liquid supply step of supplying the concentrated sulfuric acid having the raised temperature to a substrate placed on a substrate processing part. 2 . The substrate treatment method of claim 1 , wherein in the temperature raising step, the temperature of the concentrated sulfuric acid is raised to a temperature in the range of 130 degrees C. to a boiling point of the concentrated sulfuric acid. 3 . The substrate treatment method of claim 1 , wherein the concentrated sulfuric acid does not contain a hydrogen peroxide. 4 . The substrate treatment method of claim 1 , further comprising: a pure water addition step of adding pure water to the concentrated sulfuric acid. 5 . The substrate treatment method of claim 4 , wherein in the pure water addition step, the pure water is added so that a concentration of a sulfuric acid in the concentrated sulfuric acid is 70 to 97% by mass. 6 . The substrate treatment method of claim 4 , further comprising: a subsequent pure water supply step of supplying the pure water added to the concentrated sulfuric acid to the substrate after the liquid supply step. 7 . The substrate treatment method of claim 4 , further comprising: a preliminary pure water supply step of supplying the pure water added to the concentrated sulfuric acid to the substrate before the liquid supply step. 8 . The substrate treatment method of claim 1 , wherein a film containing tungsten is formed on a surface of the substrate. 9 . The substrate treatment method of claim 1 , wherein a film containing tungsten or aluminum oxide, and containing titanium nitride is formed on a surface of the substrate. 10 . The substrate treatment method of claim 1 , wherein the liquid supply step includes a step of removing residues on the substrate after a dry etching or a CMP process. 11 . A substrate treatment device, comprising: a substrate processing part configured to perform a liquid processing on a substrate; a concentrated sulfuric acid supply part; a temperature raising mechanism configured to raise a temperature of a concentrated sulfuric acid supplied from the concentrated sulfuric acid supply part; and a liquid supply part configured to supply the concentrated sulfuric acid having the raised temperature to the substrate placed the substrate processing part. 12 . The substrate treatment device of claim 11 , further comprising: a pure water supply part; and an addition part configured to add pure water supplied from the pure water supply part to concentrated sulfuric acid. 13 . The substrate treatment device of claim 11 , wherein the concentrated sulfuric acid does not contain a hydrogen peroxide.
