Abstract

A substrate processing method includes supplying a first developer at a first temperature onto a substrate in a development device, thereby performing a development process, supplying a process fluid at a second temperature lower than the first temperature onto the substrate, thereby replacing a residue of the first developer remaining after the development process with a second developer, transferring the substrate from the development device to a supercritical drying device, and supplying, by the supercritical drying device, at least one of a supercritical fluid and a subcritical fluid onto the substrate, thereby drying the second developer.
