Abstract: A processing solution containing solvent and solute is supplied onto a substrate (9). The processing solution transforms into a particle retention layer as a result of at least part of the solvent being volatilized from the processing solution and causing the processing solution to solidify or harden. The particle retention layer is removed from the substrate (9) by supplying a removal liquid onto the substrate (9). A solute component contained in the particle retention layer is insoluble or poorly soluble in the removal liquid, whereas the solvent is soluble. The solute component contained in the particle retention layer has the property of being altered to become soluble in the removal liquid when heated to a temperature higher than or equal to an alteration temperature. The removal liquid is supplied after the formation of the particle retention layer, without undergoing a process of alternating the solute component.

Abstract: A large number of pattern elements stands upright on an upper surface of a substrate. After the upper surface of the substrate has been processed using a processing liquid, liquid filling processing for filling the upper surface with a filler solution is performed, in which the filler solution having a viscosity of three centipoises or more is applied to a central part of the upper surface. Then, by rotating the substrate at 1000 revolutions per minute or less, the processing solution adhering to the entire upper surface is replaced by the filler solution, and a solution layer of a predetermined thickness is formed. In this way, making the viscosity of the filler solution relatively high and making the centrifugal force acting at the time of rotating the substrate relatively low suppresses deformation of the pattern elements at the time of filling with a filler that uses the filler solution.
