A silicon semiconductor wafer is transported into a chamber, and preheating of the semiconductor wafer is started in a nitrogen atmosphere by irradiation with light from halogen lamps. When the temperature of the semiconductor wafer reaches a predetermined switching temperature in the course of the preheating, oxygen gas is supplied into the chamber to change the atmosphere within the chamber from the nitrogen atmosphere to an oxygen atmosphere. Thereafter, a front surface of the semiconductor wafer is heated for an extremely short time period by flash irradiation. Oxidation is suppressed when the temperature of the semiconductor wafer is relatively low below the switching temperature, and is caused after the temperature of the semiconductor wafer becomes relatively high. As a result, a dense, thin oxide film having good properties with fewer defects at an interface with a silicon base layer is formed on the front surface of the semiconductor wafer.

Increases in size and costs of power supply circuitry are suppressed because the single power supply circuit supplies power to the two different types of light sources to collectively control the two different types of light sources.

The present invention relates to an exposure method and an exposure device, the purpose of which is to enable exposure in both acceleration and deceleration periods during relative movement between an exposure part and a substrate holding part, and to thereby improve the takt time of the exposure process. An exposure part that outputs a light beam and a substrate holding part that holds a substrate are moved relative to each other to thereby scan an incident position of an output light beam on the substrate. The relative movement speed between the exposure part and the substrate holding part is calculated on the basis of a signal generated in conjunction with the relative movement, and exposure is performed by causing the laser beam to enter the substrate while changing the light quantity of the light beam in multiple stages at a prescribed control period. The control period and the maximum light quantity of the light beam are modified in accordance with the calculated relative movement speed.

SUBSTRATE PROCESSING METHOD AND SUBSTRATE PROCESSING APPARATUS
According to the present invention, a certain amount of IPA is supplied from a processing liquid nozzle to a substrate after a cleaning process. The liquid level of the IPA is gradually decreased by means of preliminary drying and when the liquid level of the IPA coincides with the upper end of a pillar of a pattern that is formed on the substrate, the surface of the substrate is irradiated with flash light from a flash lamp so as to instantaneously vaporize the remaining IPA. By irradiating the surface of the substrate with flash light with high intensity for an extremely short period of irradiation time, the drying time which is necessary for removing the processing liquid from the surface of the substrate from the time when the capillary force started to act on the pattern becomes shorter than the collapse time which is necessary for causing the pattern to collapse from the time when the capillary force started to act on the pattern. Consequently, pattern collapse can be reliably suppressed even if the pattern has a large aspect ratio.

SUBSTRATE TREATMENT DEVICE, SUBSTRATE TREATMENT METHOD, AND SUBSTRATE TREATMENT SYSTEM
In this invention, an outer flow adjustment member adjusts flow of a gas passing between an upper sealing member and a lower sealing member and causes the gas to flow downward along an outer surface of the lower sealing member. Thus, a so-called air curtain is formed so as to surround a treatment space. Moreover, when the formation of an atmosphere separation space is eliminated, an inner flow adjustment member for adjusting flow of a gas passing through the inside of the lower sealing member and causing the gas to flow in the treatment space raises and lowers integrally with the lower sealing member while the outer flow adjustment member is attached to the upper sealing member and remains at a fixed position. This generates a pressure difference between outlet sides of the outer flow adjustment member and the inner flow adjustment member and increases the flow rate of a gas flowing downward from the outer flow adjustment member along the outer surface of the lower sealing member. That is, the air curtain is strengthened.
