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 12):
A substrate processing method using a substrate processing apparatus, wherein\n the substrate processing apparatus includes a processing liquid nozzle that supplies a processing liquid to a substrate, and a plurality of tanks that include a supply tank, an adjustment tank and a collection tank, and the substrate processing method includes the steps of: concurrently performing a supply operation for supplying the processing liquid from the supply tank to the processing liquid nozzle, a collection operation for collecting the processing liquid from the processing unit to the collection tank, and an adjustment operation for adjusting concentration of the processing liquid stored in the adjustment tank; changing the collection tank to the adjustment tank after the collection operation is finished; and changing a path of the processing liquid such that the adjusted processing liquid is supplied to the processing unit after the adjustment operation is finished.
