Abstract

The inventive concept provides a method for treating a substrate. The method for treating a substrate comprises: a pressurization step for increasing a pressure of an inner space of a chamber by supplying a treating fluid to the inner space, after taking the substrate into the inner space; a flow step for generating a flow of the treating fluid by combination of supplying and discharging the treating fluid to and from the inner space; and a depressurization step of decreasing the pressure of the inner space by discharging the treating fluid from the inner space, and wherein the pressurization step comprises: a bottom side supply process for increasing the pressure of the inner space by supplying the treating fluid to a backside of the substrate taken into the inner space; and a top side supply process of increasing the pressure of the inner space by supplying the treating fluid to a top side of the substrate taken into the inner space.
