Abstract

A substrate processing apparatus has a substrate holder for detachably holding a substrate so that a surface, to be processed, of the substrate faces downward, and a sealing ring for sealing a peripheral portion of the surface, to be processed, of the substrate held by the substrate holder. The substrate processing apparatus also has a plurality of ejection nozzles disposed below the substrate holder for ejecting a treatment solution toward the surface, to be processed, of the substrate held by the substrate holder, and a mechanism for rotating and vertically moving the substrate holder and the ejection nozzles relative to each other.
