Claim 5:
6. A substrate processing method of processing a substrate by using a substrate processing apparatus that comprises a substrate cleaning unit configured to clean the substrate, and a substrate drying unit configured to dry the substrate and comprising a substrate processing container accommodating the substrate, the substrate processing method comprising:
taking the substrate out of the substrate cleaning unit;
measuring surface temperature of the substrate processing container;
determining whether the surface temperature of the substrate processing container deviates from a preset reference temperature range;
transferring, in response to the determining that the surface temperature of the substrate processing container is within the preset reference temperature range, the substrate to the substrate drying unit; and
in response to the determining that the surface temperature of the substrate processing container is out of the preset reference temperature range, loading back the substrate into the substrate cleaning unit and performing a drying prevention process on the substrate by spraying a chemical liquid to the substrate.
