The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for treating a substrate with liquid. The substrate treating apparatus comprises a substrate supporting unit for supporting the substrate, a liquid supply unit for supplying a liquid to the substrate supported on the substrate supporting unit, and a controller for controlling the liquid supply unit, wherein the liquid supply unit comprises a first nozzle for supplying a first liquid and a second nozzle for supplying a second liquid, and a second area where the second liquid is supplied on the substrate is provided within a first area where the first liquid is supplied on the substrate. The first liquid and the second liquid supplied with a hydrophobic film are discharged with different ways from each other. Thereby, particles with various sizes may be removed depending on each discharge methods.

This disclosure relates to a method for preparing a polymer thin film with water repellency and oil repellency, including: thermally decomposing a thermal initiator to form a radical; reacting the radical with a monomer mixture of a specific composition to synthesize a polymer; and depositing the synthesized polymer on a substrate, and a polymer thin film with water repellency and oil repellency including a polymer resin including (meth)acrylate-based repeat units substituted with a fluorine-containing functional group and repeat units derived from a compound including at least two reactive functional groups at a specific ratio.

An apparatus and method for dispensing a multi-component adhesive using a pair of non-contact jetting valves. The multi-component adhesive is a combination of two or more individual reactive adhesive components, which are not adhesive by nature on their own, but which can be mixed to chemically react and form an adhesive. The individual reactive adhesive components are held and dispensed separately by the apparatus, such that the individual reactive adhesive components do not mix before they are deposited onto the target substrate.

An apparatus and method is provided for coating a surface of a substrate with at least one film of porous coordination polymer. A body has an interior space for holding the substrate to be coated, at least one inlet, and at least one outlet in communication with the interior space to permit fluid to flow in a downstream direction from the inlet, across the surface of the substrate in the interior space, and through the outlet. A plurality of flow channels are arranged to flow a plurality of different reagent solutions from respective supply sources to the at least one inlet. The flow channels merge into at least one mixing region, positioned upstream of the interior space, to mix the solutions prior to the mixture contacting the surface of the substrate in the interior space. At least one pressure source and valve system are arranged with the supply sources and the flow channels to select at least one combination of the reagent solutions to be mixed and to force the selected reagent solutions to flow from their respective supply sources, through the flow channels, and into the mixing region at different, independently controllable flow rates to regulate respective concentrations of reagents in the mixture.

Methods of curtain coating substrates are disclosed. In some embodiments, the methods include applying two or more liquid layers simultaneously to a substrate, wherein the multiple layers include a bottom liquid layer comprising a shear thinning liquid, and another liquid layer comprising a viscoelastic liquid.
