Abstract

An apparatus for processing a substrate through successive steps including spin-drying the substrate with a single processing facility while preventing the substrate from being contaminated by a substrate processing liquid, etc. The apparatus for processing a substrate includes a substrate holder for holding and rotating a substrate, a scattering prevention cup for circumferentially surrounding the substrate held by the substrate holder to prevent a substrate processing liquid supplied to the substrate from being scattered around, and a scattering prevention cup cleaner for cleaning an inner wall surface of the scattering prevention cup.
