Abstract:
A resist film including a metallic component and a photosensitive material is formed on a surface of a substrate, and then a peripheral portion of the resist film on the substrate is irradiated with light by an edge exposer. Subsequently, development processing is performed with a development liquid from a nozzle on the exposed portion of the resist film. Thus, the part of the resist film formed on the peripheral portion of the substrate is removed. Thereafter, exposure processing is performed on the substrate in an exposure device, so that an exposure pattern is formed on the resist film. Then, a development liquid is supplied to the exposed substrate in a development processing unit, so that development processing is performed on the resist film.

Claim (Index 1):
A substrate processing apparatus arranged to be adjacent to an exposure device that performs exposure processing on a substrate, comprising:\n a film formation unit that forms a metal-containing photosensitive film including a metallic component and a photosensitive material on a surface to be processed of the substrate; an edge exposer that irradiates a peripheral portion of the substrate after formation of the metal-containing photosensitive film with light; an edge development processor that performs development processing on a part of the metal-containing photosensitive film that has been irradiated with light by the edge exposer by supplying a development liquid to the peripheral portion of the substrate; a transport mechanism that transports the substrate after the development processing by the edge development processor to the exposure device; and a development processing unit that performs development processing on the metal-containing photosensitive film by supplying a development liquid to the substrate after the exposure processing in the exposure device.
