Abstract
A substrate processing apparatus includes a liquid processing tank, a movement mechanism, an ejector, and a controller. The liquid processing tank stores a processing liquid. The movement mechanism moves a plurality of substrates immersed in the liquid processing tank to above the liquid surface of the processing liquid. The ejector ejects a vapor of an organic solvent toward portions of the plurality of substrates exposed from the liquid surfaces. The controller moves up the ejection position of the vapor of the organic solvent by the ejection unit as the plurality of substrates are moved up.
