Abstract

An apparatus for forming a coating film, comprises a spin chuck for supporting a substrate with one surface facing upward and rotating the substrate about a vertical axis, a first nozzle for supplying a solvent of a coating solution on the substrate, and a second nozzle for supplying the coating solution on a central portion of the substrate. The first and second nozzles are supported by a head such that the supported nozzle moves between a dropping position above the substrate and a waiting position offset from the substrate. The solvent and coating solution are diffused along the surface of the substrate by rotating the spin chuck.
