Abstract
A developing treatment method for performing a developing treatment on a resist film on a substrate, includes the following. (A) supplying a developing solution to the substrate and developing the resist film to form a resist pattern; (B) supplying a water-based cleaning liquid to the developed substrate to clean the substrate with the water-based cleaning liquid; (C) applying an aqueous solution of a water-soluble polymer to the substrate cleaned with the water-based cleaning liquid to form a hydrophilic layer having a hydrophilic property on a surface of the substrate; and (D) cleaning the substrate on which the hydrophilic layer has been formed, with a rinse liquid. (B) includes (a) accelerating a rotation speed of the substrate; and (b) after (a), decelerating the rotation speed of the substrate until a start of (C), wherein a deceleration in (b) is lower than an acceleration in (a).
