Abstract

A method of processing a substrate for forming a coating film on a substrate comprising the steps of (a) mounting a substrate on a temperature controlling means which is capable of having a heat influence on the substrate, and controlling temperature of the substrate by the temperature controlling means, (b) controlling temperature of a coating solution to be supplied to the substrate, (c) controlling temperature of a contact member in contact with the substrate when the substrate is transported and held, (d) detecting temperature of an atmosphere of a process space for applying the coating solution to the substrate, (e) setting a desired temperature on the basis of temperature/film-thickness data previously obtained by forming the coating film on the substrate, (f) controlling a temperature controlling operation of at least step (c) on the basis of the desired temperature set in the step (e) and the temperature detected in the step (d), and (g) applying the coating solution to the substrate.
