Abstract
A resist film processing unit is disclosed that can improve an etching resistance of a resist film formed on a substrate. The resist film processing unit includes a light source to irradiate an ultraviolet light on a resist film patterned by a development process, a heating part configured to heat the resist film irradiated with the ultraviolet light by the light source, and a solvent processing unit configured to expose the resist film to a solvent gas including a solvent that contains a benzene ring, during or after heating of the resist film by the heating part.
