Abstract: Disclosed is a method of cleaning components of a substrate processing apparatus The components of the substrate processing apparatus are cleaned by using a first cleaning jig including a disk-shaped lower member, and a disk-shaped upper member connected to the lower member and forming a gap between the upper member and the lower member. The lower member of the first cleaning jig is held by the substrate holding unit to rotate the first cleaning jig. The cleaning liquid is ejected toward the first cleaning jig from a bottom side of the first cleaning jig while the first cleaning jig is rotated. The cleaning liquid flows out toward outside of the first cleaning jig via the gap between the upper member and the lower member by a centrifugal force, and the components of the substrate processing apparatus are cleaned by the cleaning liquid that has flowed out.

After the supply of the rinsing liquid droplets, the gas supply is halted and a rinsing liquid is additionally supplied to the holding part-side surface of the substrate from the rinsing liquid supply part.

Abstract: There is provided a liquid processing apparatus capable of preventing an atmospheric air of a lower surface side of a substrate, to which a processing liquid is supplied, from circulating and being introduced into an upper surface side of the substrate, to which the processing liquid is not supplied, and capable of decreasing a fuzzy gas consumption supplied to separate the atmospheres between the lower and upper surface sides from each other. An upper plate 5 is disposed at an opposite side to the upper surface of the substrate maintained horizontally and a gas supplier 53, 531 supplies a pressurized gas into a space formed between the upper plate and the substrate. Also, due to a negative pressure built in a space formed between the upper plate and the substrate, an atmospheric gas outside the space is introduced into the space via a gas inlet port.
