Abstract

Method of transporting and processing substrates with developing agent within a confined passage. Pressurized fluid medium is supplied and discharged on both sides of the substrate via sequentially located fluid medium supply and discharge channels intersecting the top and bottom of the passage, such that the moving fluid medium cushions the substrate and both sides of the substrate remain free of the passage. Developing agent is introduced via a developing agent supply channel intersecting the passage.
