Claim 6:
7. The substrate processing apparatus according to claim 6, comprising:
a drying process tank that is arranged on an upper part of the liquid processing tank and executes a drying process for the plurality of substrates;
a movement structure that lifts the plurality of substrates from the liquid processing tank and moves them to the drying process tank; and
an organic solvent supplier that supplies a vapor of an organic solvent to an inside of the drying process tank, wherein
the hydrophobizing gas supplier supplies the gas of a hydrophobizing agent to an inside of the drying process tank, and
the controller controls the movement structure, after the organic solvent is supplied to the plurality of substrates that are arranged in the liquid processing tank, in such a manner that the plurality of substrates are lifted from the liquid processing tank, subsequently controls the hydrophobizing gas supplier in such a manner that the gas of a hydrophobizing agent is supplied to an inside of the drying process tank, and subsequently controls the organic solvent supplier in such a manner that a vapor of the organic solvent is supplied to an inside of the drying process tank.
