Abstract

A substrate processing apparatus includes a holding device that holds a substrate horizontally, a rotation device that rotates the holding device such that the substrate held by the holding device is rotated, a supply device that includes a nozzle and supplies etching liquid from the nozzle to the substrate held by the holding device, a movement device that moves the nozzle with respect to the substrate held by the holding device, and a control device including circuitry that executes a scan process in which the circuitry controls the rotation, movement and supply devices such that while the liquid is supplied from the nozzle to the substrate, the nozzle is moved back and forth over the substrate between first and second positions on outer peripheral side of the substrate relative to the first position. The circuit of the control device executes the scan process multiple times while changing the first position.
