Dislocation of processing liquid pouring nozzles is prevented, smooth
carrying of the processing liquid pouring nozzles is achieved, and the
positional accuracy of the processing liquid pouring nozzles, processing
accuracy and yield are improved. A substrate processing apparatus
includes a spin chuck (50) for holding and rotating a wafer (W), a
plurality of processing liquid pouring nozzles (60) for pouring
processing liquids on a surface of the wafer (W), a solvent bath (70) for
holding the processing liquid pouring nozzles at their home positions,
and a nozzle-carrying arm (80) for detachably gripping desired one of the
processing liquid pouring nozzles (60) held on the solvent bath (70) and
carrying the desired processing liquid pouring nozzle (60) to a working
position above the wafer (W). The processing liquid pouring nozzles (60)
are held in alignment with straight lines (L) extending between the
center (C) of the spin chuck (50) about which the spin chuck (50) rotates
and nozzle holding openings (71) formed at suitable intervals in the
solvent bath (70), respectively, and flexible supply tubes (61)
connecting the processing liquid pouring nozzles (60) to processing
liquid sources are arranged on extensions of the straight lines (L)
respectively.
