Claim 0:
1. A substrate processing method, comprising:
an atmosphere control step of supplying a drying gas to a front surface of a substrate on which a pattern has been formed and making a dry atmosphere around the front surface of the substrate;
a to-be-solidified liquid supplying step of supplying a to-be-solidified liquid to the front surface of the substrate; and
a solidification step of forming a solidified mass by solidifying a liquid film of the to-be-solidified liquid,
wherein the atmosphere control step is started before the liquid film of the to-be-solidified liquid supplied to the front surface of the substrate in the to-be-solidified liquid supplying step is formed, and
a solidification point of the to-be-solidified liquid is 5° C. to 40° C.
