Abstract:
In parallel with a substrate heating step, a liquid surface sensor is used to monitor the raising of an IPA liquid film. An organic solvent removing step is started in response to the raising of the IPA liquid film over the upper surface of the substrate. At the end of the organic solvent removing step, a visual sensor is used to determine whether or not IPA droplets remain on the upper surface of the substrate.

Claim (Index 2):
The substrate processing method according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the processing liquid condition detecting step detects a level of a liquid surface of a liquid film of the processing liquid covering the upper surface of the substrate in parallel with the processing liquid supplying step, and wherein the controlling step stops a supply of the processing liquid in the processing liquid supplying step based on the level of the liquid surface of the liquid film detected in the processing liquid condition detecting step.
