Abstract

When applying a coating film by a spin coating method on a disc-shaped recording medium, the film thickness difference between the inner rim and the outer rim of the disc has to be suppressed. To this end, a coating liquid is supplied to a center portion of the disc-shaped recording medium and a rotary disc, as a center shaft of a rotary disc is inserted into a recess formed in a turntable on which the disc-shaped recording medium is set and the disc-shaped recording medium and a rotary disc are run in rotation. The coating liquid is spread under the centrifugal force caused by rotation for forming a coating film on the disc-shaped recording medium.
