  • Publication number: 20240173754
    Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus according to the present invention includes a support tray that is configured in such a manner that a residual liquid getting in between a lower surface of a substrate and a substrate facing surface of the support tray is trapped in a groove. The support tray further includes a discharge part through which the residual liquid trapped in the groove is discharged from the groove through a discharge part. As a result, backflow of the residual liquid is prevented effectively, thereby preventing re-adhesion of the residual liquid to the upper surface of the substrate.
