Abstract:
A substrate processing method comprising the steps of:(a) transporting a substrate along a transport path, the substrate having striped ridge patterns formed on a surface thereof; (b) setting an angle between a ridge-extension direction of the striped ridge patterns formed on the surface of the substrate and a jetting direction, as projected on the surface of the substrate, of fluid jetting out onto the substrate, the jetting direction being slanted in a direction other than normal to the substrate surface; and (c) jetting out the fluid onto the surface of the substrate along the jetting direction satisfying the angle set at said step (b) and processing the surface of the substrate, wherein said step (b) sets at least one of a rotational position of the substrate and the jetting direction of the fluid to make the angle smaller than 45Â°.
