Abstract

Disclosed is a liquid processing method which includes holding the substrate by a holding part, rotating the substrate held by the holding part through a rotation driving part, and supplying a chemical liquid to a holding part-side surface of the substrate by a chemical liquid supply part. After the supply of the chemical liquid, rinsing liquid droplets are generated and supplied between the holding part and the substrate by supplying gas toward the holding part-side surface of the substrate from a gas supply part and, at the same time, supplying a rinsing liquid toward the holding part-side surface of the substrate from a rinsing liquid supply part. After the supply of the rinsing liquid droplets, the gas supply is halted and a rinsing liquid is additionally supplied to the holding part-side surface of the substrate from the rinsing liquid supply part.
