Abstract: In this invention, a substrate with a notch on its periphery is rotated and a processing fluid is discharged from a nozzle while the nozzle is moved outward from an outside of the substrate through an edge surface of the substrate to the maximum processing position, which is a predetermined bevel processing distance away from the edge surface, and then the nozzle is returned in the opposite direction of the outward movement. Operating conditions including a rotation of the substrate, a discharge of the processing liquid, and the movement of the nozzle are not fixed but are switched at an intermediate position between the end surface and the maximum processing position.

Abstract: This invention is directed to substrate processing techniques for performing a chemical liquid processing, a cleaning process, or the like on a substrate. In this invention, while the substrate is processed with the processing liquid, liquid droplets of the processing liquid scattered from the substrate are collected by an inner peripheral surface of a cup. After this processing and before the cup is elevated to a cup elevation position, a heated gas is supplied to the inner peripheral surface of the cup via an upper surface of the substrate while the cup is rotated. Thus, the cup is dried by the rotation of the cup and the supply of the heated gas to the cup.
