  • Publication number: 20170287699
    Abstract: Provided is a substrate processing apparatus that removes a film by supplying a processing liquid to the peripheral edge of a substrate. An ejection unit ejects the processing liquid to the peripheral edge of the substrate held and rotated by a substrate holding unit. An ejection position setting unit sets the ejection position of the processing liquid of the ejection unit to correspond to the removal width of the film included in a recipe, and a property information acquisition unit acquires property information of the film to be removed. A correction amount acquisition unit acquires the correction amount for correcting the ejection position of the processing liquid based on the property information of the film, and an ejection position correction unit corrects the ejection position of the processing liquid by the ejection unit based on the correction amount acquired by the correction amount acquisition unit.
