Abstract

The present invention provides a method that can maintain the temperature of a wafer at a process temperature before a coating process is performed by supplying a photoresist. According to the present invention, a thinner which helps a diffusion of the photoresist is supplied onto the wafer before the photoresist is supplied. The thinner is supplied in a temperature-controlled state such that the wafer has the process temperature by the thinner.
