Abstract: When a substrate W is processed, a ring-shaped protective wall is located above the substrate held by the substrate holding unit and extends in a circumferential direction of the substrate. A radial position of an external periphery of a lower end of the protective wall is the same as a radial position of an internal periphery of a peripheral portion of an upper surface of the substrate held by a substrate holding unit, or is located at a radial outside. A first gap is formed between the protective wall and an upper surface of the substrate, a second gap is formed between the protective wall and a wall that defines the upper opening of the cup, and when the interior space of the cup is exhausted, a gas present above the substrate is introduced through the first gap and the second gap into the interior space of the cup.

Abstract: A washing machine includes a cabinet, a tub provided within the cabinet, a drum rotatably provided within the tub, an air supply device provided on the upper surface of the tub and circulating air to the center of the front portion of the tub, a detergent dispenser located above the front portion of the tub and separating a detergent part to input detergents and a subsidiary detergent part to input subsidiary detergents, and a dispenser cover opening and closing the upper surface of the detergent dispenser.
