Abstract

At least part of a processing liquid upward flowing in a storage space is split into a plurality of upflows and guided to a substrate held by a substrate holder. Many upflows are widely dispersed and formed in the processing liquid stored in the storage space, and the generation of downflows in the storage space is suppressed. As a result, bubbles are uniformly supplied to the substrate and substrate processing can be performed in high quality.
