Abstract

The amount of chemical liquids dispensed by a chemical liquid supply apparatus is stabilized and dispensing accuracy is remarkably improved. A pump discharges a liquid accommodated in a liquid tank. A filter is connected to the pump through a pump outlet flow path to which a pump discharge-side valve for opening/closing the flow path is provided. A dispensing nozzle (liquid dispense portion) is connected to the filter through a liquid discharge flow path to which a discharge valve for opening/closing the flow path is provided. A vacuum source communicates with the filter through an exhaust flow path to which a deaeration valve for opening/closing the flow path is provided.
