Abstract

Disclosed is a liquid treatment apparatus capable of effectively exhausting processing liquid atmosphere around a target object. The liquid treatment apparatus includes a container, a support part located within the container that supports the target object, a rotation driving mechanism to rotate the target object supported by the support part, a processing liquid supply mechanism to supply a processing liquid to the target object, and a rotation cup, which is located outside of the outer circumference of the target object and is rotatable together with the support part. A rotation exhaust cup is arranged above the rotation cup and is rotatable together with the rotation cup. A discharge mechanism discharges processing liquid atmosphere guided by the rotation cup and the rotation exhaust cup.
