Abstract
A substrate processing apparatus includes a processing tub configured to store therein a processing liquid in which a substrate is immersed to be processed, the processing liquid including a first component and a second component having a boiling point higher than that of the first component; an adjusting liquid supply configured to supply an adjusting liquid configured to adjust a concentration of the second component into the processing tub, the adjusting liquid including the first component; and a controller configured to control the adjusting liquid supply. When changing the concentration, the controller calculates a liquid surface height in the processing tub corresponding to the concentration after being changed based on a concentration difference between the concentration after being changed and the concentration before being changed, and the controller controls a supply of the adjusting liquid into the processing tub based on the calculated liquid surface height.
