There is provided a substrate processing apparatus which can process a
substrate by using an electrolytic processing method, while reducing a
load upon a CMP processing to the least possible extent. The substrate
processing apparatus of the present invention includes: an electrolytic
processing unit (36) for electrolytically removing the surface of the
substrate W having a to-be-processed film formed in said surface, said
unit including a feeding section (373) that comes into contact with said
surface of the substrate W; a bevel-etching unit (48) for etching away
the to-be-processed film remaining unprocessed at the portion of the
substrate that has been in contact with the feeding section (373) in the
electrolytic processing unit (36); a chemical mechanical polishing unit
(34) for chemically and mechanically polishing the surface of the
substrate.
