Abstract

A substrate treating method and a substrate treating apparatus which can reduce the collapse of a pattern on a substrate. The substrate treating method includes a supply step of supplying a process liquid including a sublimable substance in a molten state to a pattern-formed surface of a substrate; a solidification step of solidifying the process liquid on the pattern-formed surface so as to form a solidified body; a sublimation step of subliming the solidified body so as to remove the solidified body from the pattern-formed surface; and an organic substance removal step of removing, when the solidified body is sublimed, an organic substance precipitated on a sublimation interface, and the organic substance removal step is performed so as to overlap at least part of the sublimation step.
