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 6):
The substrate processing method according to  claim 1 , wherein the substrate heating step causes the upper surface of the substrate to reach a temperature equal to or higher than a boiling point of the processing liquid, with the upper surface of the substrate being covered with a liquid film of the processing liquid, to form a gaseous phase of the processing liquid across the upper surface of the substrate between the liquid film of the processing liquid and the upper surface of the substrate and raise the film of the processing liquid over the substrate.
