Abstract

A processing apparatus includes a chamber configured to accommodate a substrate to be processed, a nozzle provided in the chamber and configured to supply a processing solution to the substrate, a flow rate measuring part configured to measure a flow rate of the processing solution supplied to the nozzle, a flow path opening/closing part configured to open and close a supply flow path of the processing solution to the nozzle, and a controller configured to output a close signal causing the flow path opening/closing part to perform a closing operation that closes the supply flow path. The controller is configured to detect an operation abnormality of the flow path opening/closing part based on an accumulated amount of the flow rate measured by the flow rate measuring part after outputting the close signal.
