Abstract
A developer is supplied onto a substrate and thereafter a rinse discharge nozzle is moved toward an operating direction. The rinse discharge nozzle is so moved on the substrate as to continuously supply pure water onto the substrate from a slit discharge port of the rinse discharge nozzle while sucking and recovering the pure water from the surface of the substrate through a slit suction port, and a series of development is performed in a stationary state of the substrate.
