Abstract

A substrate processing apparatus includes a rinsing tank, a processing tank, an acquisition unit, a concentration adjusting unit, and a concentration controlling unit. The rinsing tank retains rinse liquid including water, and in which substrates including inorganic films are dipped to execute a rinsing process. The processing tank retains phosphoric acid processing liquid, and in which the rinsing-processed substrates are dipped to execute an etching process. The acquisition unit acquires the number of the substrates to be collectively dipped in the processing tank. The concentration adjusting unit adjusts a concentration of the phosphoric acid processing liquid. The concentration controlling unit is configured to: based on the number, acquire a brought-in amount that is an amount of the rinse liquid brought in the processing tank along with the substrates; and control the concentration adjusting unit based on the brought-in amount to adjust a concentration of the phosphoric acid processing liquid.
