Abstract
A substrate processing method includes the steps of: rotating a substrate horizontally around a vertical rotational axis, placing a facing member facing the substrate from above such that an inner peripheral surface of an extension portion of the facing member faces the substrate radially from the outside, rotating the facing member around the rotational axis, supplying a processing liquid to an upper surface of the substrate being in a rotated state, and placing a guard that surrounds the substrate further radially outside from the extension portion in plan view at a height position, at which processing liquid scattered from the upper surface of the substrate toward the outside in the radial direction is received by the guard, in accordance with affinity of the processing liquid for the inner peripheral surface of the extension portion.
