Abstract:
In a substrate processing apparatus, a phosphoric acid aqueous solution is supplied to a processor, and a liquid collection from the processor is concurrently performed. Further, a silicon concentration is adjusted, to supply an adjusted processing liquid to the processor. Thus, a phosphoric acid aqueous solution film is formed on the substrate. The liquid film is heated by a heating device. The heating device has lamp heaters in a casing made of a silica glass. The phosphoric acid aqueous solution on the substrate is irradiated with infrared rays. A nitrogen gas flowing in a gas passage formed in the casing is discharged towards a position outside an outer periphery of the substrate.

Claim (Index 4):
The substrate processing method according to  claim 3 , further comprising:\n detecting the concentration of the processing liquid in the third tank by a first concentration meter; and detecting the concentration of the processing liquid in the second tank by a second concentration meter, wherein the first new liquid supply operation includes producing a processing liquid having a concentration higher than a reference concentration by the new liquid supply device to supply the produced processing liquid to the third tank when the concentration detected by the first concentration meter is lower than the reference concentration, and producing a processing liquid having a concentration lower than the reference concentration by the new liquid supply device to supply the produced processing liquid to the third tank when the concentration detected by the first concentration meter is higher than the reference concentration, and the second new liquid supply operation includes producing a processing liquid having a concentration higher than the reference concentration by the new liquid supply device to supply the produced processing liquid to the second tank when the concentration detected by the second concentration meter is lower than the reference concentration, and producing a processing liquid having a concentration lower than the reference concentration by the new liquid supply device to supply the produced processing liquid to the second tank when the concentration detected by the second concentration meter is higher than the reference concentration.
