Abstract
A substrate processing apparatus includes: a substrate holder; a processing liquid supply nozzle that supplies a processing liquid to a substrate held by the substrate holder; a liquid receiving cup that receives the processing liquid supplied to the substrate; a processing chamber that accommodates the liquid receiving cup and has an opening at an upper side; a shield that shields a region outside the liquid receiving cup in the opening of the processing chamber; a driver that moves the liquid receiving cup between a first processing position separated from the shield and a second processing position above the shield; and a processing liquid guide that causes a processing liquid dropped onto the shield to fall downward.
