Abstract

A processing liquid is supplied onto a substrate rotated by a spin chuck in a coating processing unit so that a film of the processing liquid is formed, and a rinse liquid is supplied to a peripheral edge of the substrate so that a processing liquid on the peripheral edge of the substrate is removed. An edge cut width between a position of an outer peripheral portion of the substrate rotated by the spin chuck in an edge exposure unit and a position of an outer peripheral portion of a film on the substrate is detected. Based on the detected edge cut width, a positional deviation of the center of the substrate held in the spin chuck from a rotation center of the spin chuck in the coating processing unit is determined while a supply state of the rinse liquid by an edge rinse nozzle is determined.
