Patent ID: 8539906

Claim:
A substrate liquid processing apparatus comprising: a substrate holding table configured to hold a substrate; a rotary driving unit configured to rotate the substrate holding table; a process-liquid supply unit configured to supply a process-liquid to the substrate held by the substrate holding table; a guide rotary cup provided around the substrate holding table, the guide rotary cup being configured to rotate together with the substrate holding table to guide the process-liquid scattering from the rotating substrate; and a guide cup provided around the guide rotary cup, the guide cup being configured to guide downward the process-liquid guided by the guide rotary cup, wherein the guide cup includes a guide cup body, a downward extension portion extending downward from an inner peripheral end portion of the guide cup body, and an inner peripheral extension portion extending inward from the inner peripheral end portion more than the downward extension portion, the inner peripheral extension portion being configured to form a gas guide space to ether with the guide rotary cup and the downward extension portion so that a gas turning by the rotation of the guide rotary cup is guided downward, wherein the process-liquid supply unit is configured to selectively supply a plurality of types of process-liquids, the substrate liquid processing apparatus further comprising a second guide cup provided below the guide cup, the second guide cup being configured to guide downward the corresponding process-liquid guided by the guide rotary cup; and an up-down movement driving unit configured to move up and down the second guide cup with respect to the guide cup, wherein the downward extension portion of the guide cup closes an opening of the guide cup when the process-liquid is guided by the second guide cup.
