Abstract: A phosphoric acid aqueous solution in a production tank circulates a circulation system. The circulation system is configured to be switchable between a first state in which the phosphoric acid aqueous solution is circulated through a bypass pipe and a second state in which the phosphoric acid aqueous solution is circulated through a filter. When a silicon containing liquid is supplied to the production tank, the circulation system is switched to the first state. When silicon particles are uniformly dispersed in the phosphoric acid aqueous solution, the circulation system is switched to the second state. Alternatively, a filtration member is provided in the production tank. The silicon containing liquid is stored in the filtration member. The filtration member is dipped in the phosphoric acid aqueous solution stored in the production tank. The silicon containing liquid is permeated through the filtration member, and is mixed with the phosphoric acid aqueous solution.

The gas is blown onto a region inside the hole in the liquid film to move the liquid film on the gas phase layer. A direction of a gas stream at a substrate outer peripheral portion is changed to remove the liquid film at the substrate outer peripheral portion.
