Abstract
A substrate processing method of grinding a first substrate in a combined substrate in which the first substrate and a second substrate are bonded to each other includes measuring a total thickness distribution of the combined substrate; measuring a thickness distribution of the first substrate; calculating a thickness distribution of the second substrate by subtracting the thickness distribution of the first substrate from the total thickness distribution of the combined substrate; deciding a relative inclination between a substrate holder configured to hold the combined substrate and a grinder configured to grind the combined substrate, based on the thickness distribution of the second substrate; and grinding the first substrate while holding the combined substrate at the inclination which is decided.
