A substrate treating apparatus includes a treating unit for treating
substrates, a piping for supplying a treating liquid to the treating
unit, a heater mounted on the piping, an electronic thermal unit mounted
on the piping in series with the heater, a temperature sensor for
measuring a temperature of the treating liquid, and a controller for
controlling the heater and the electronic thermal unit. The controller
sets a first temperature control mode for performing a room temperature
control using the electronic thermal unit when the temperature measured
by the temperature sensor is below a predetermined boundary temperature
between room temperature and high temperature, and for performing a high
temperature control with the heater when the temperature measured by the
temperature sensor is above the predetermined boundary temperature
between room temperature and high temperature. The controller sets a
second temperature control mode for performing a heating control using
the heater and the electronic thermal unit to heat the treating liquid
when a difference between the temperature measured by the temperature
sensor and a target temperature at least corresponds to a first specified
value set beforehand. Further, the controller sets the first temperature
control mode when, after the second temperature control mode is set, the
difference between the temperature measured by the temperature sensor and
the target temperature becomes less than a second specified value set
beforehand.
