Rinsing nozzles 310a to 310e are moved on a wafer W while they are
discharging rinsing solution 326. At that point, discharging openings
317a to 317e are contacted to developing solution 350 coated on the wafer
W or rinsing solution 326 on the wafer W. Thus, the impact against the
wafer W can be suppressed. As a result, pattern collapse can be
prevented. In addition, a front portion of the developing solution 350
can push away the developing solution 350.
