    Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and a method for treating a substrate at a high-pressure atmosphere. The apparatus for treating the substrate includes a first body and a second body combined with each other to define a treatment space in which the substrate is treated, a sealing member interposed between the first body and the second body to seal the treatment space from an outside at a position in which the first body is in close contact with the second body, and a driving member to drive the first body or the second body such that the treatment space is open or closed. The sealing member is positioned in a sealing groove formed in the first body. The sealing member is deformed to be in close contact with the second body by pressure of the treatment space when a process is performed.
