Abstract
A substrate processing method includes: a first etching step of performing a first etching by supplying an etching liquid on a front surface of a substrate while rotating the substrate, wherein the first etching is performed under a condition in which a second etching amount of an etching target film in a second region on a peripheral edge of the front surface, is greater than a first etching amount of the etching target film in a first region on a center side of the front surface; and a second etching step of performing a second etching by supplying the etching liquid to the front surface of the substrate while rotating the substrate, wherein the second etching is performed under a condition in which the second etching amount of the etching target film in the second region of the front surface of the substrate is smaller than the first etching amount of the etching target film in the first region.
