Claim:
1. A developing apparatus comprising: a wafer holder to hold a wafer; a rotating unit that rotates the wafer holder; a first nozzle to supply a developing solution onto the wafer; a second nozzle to supply a rinse solution onto the wafer; a nozzle guide that guides the first nozzle so as to be able to linearly scan directly above the wafer while holding the second nozzle in a position directly above the wafer to be adjacent to a scan start position for the first nozzle; a first nozzle driver that drives the first nozzle while having the nozzle guide lead the first nozzle; and a first nozzle drive control unit that drives and controls the first nozzle to move from the scan start position to a scan end position while supplying the developing solution onto the wafer.
