Abstract:
1. A substrate processing apparatus for processing a substrate, comprising: a substrate holding part for holding a substrate; a processing liquid supply part for supplying a processing liquid onto a first main surface of the substrate on which a device has been formed in advance, said first main surface being one main surface of said substrate; an anti-static liquid contacting part for bringing said first main surface of said substrate and a second main surface which is the other main surface thereof into contact with an anti-static liquid having electrical resistivity higher than that of said processing liquid; a liquid removing part for removing liquid from said substrate by at least one of: drying said substrate, rotating said substrate, and providing another liquid to said substrate; and a control part configured to control said processing liquid supply part, said anti-static liquid contacting part and said liquid removing part to bring entire said first main surface and said second main surface of said substrate into contact with said anti-static liquid to thereby maintain a wetted state, to then remove said anti-static liquid from said substrate, and subsequently, to supply said processing liquid onto said first main surface of said substrate to thereby perform a process, wherein said anti-static liquid contacting part configured to said first main surface and said second main surface of said substrate into contact with said anti-static liquid, after said substrate has been subjected to a drying process and thereby electrically charged in advance before being loaded into said substrate processing apparatus.
