Abstract

A substrate processing method includes measuring a first thickness distribution of a first substrate in a first one of multiple combined substrates before being subjected to a finishing grinding; measuring a second thickness distribution of the first substrate in a second one of the multiple combined substrates before being subjected to the finishing grinding; deciding a relative inclination between a substrate holder configured to hold the second one of the multiple combined substrates and a grinder configured to perform the finishing grinding on the corresponding combined substrate, based on first difference data between the first thickness distribution and the second thickness distribution; and performing finishing grinding on the first substrate in the second one of the multiple combined substrates while holding the second one of the multiple combined substrates at the inclination which is decided.
