Abstract: A substrate processing method includes generating a low-oxygen processing liquid by reducing oxygen dissolved in a processing liquid (step S12), and processing a main surface (i.e., upper surface) of a substrate by supplying the low-oxygen processing liquid to the substrate, the upper surface having a first metal part and a second metal part in contact with the first metal part (step S14). In the step S14, the low-oxygen processing liquid is brought into contact with an interface between the first metal part and the second metal part to inhibit oxygen reduction reaction on the second metal part which is nobler than the first metal part, and thereby to inhibit dissolution of the first metal part. According to the substrate processing method, it is possible to suitably inhibit dissolution of the metal part (i.e., the first metal part) on the substrate.
