There are provided a liquid processing method and a liquid processing apparatus capable of providing a high etching rate and a high etching selectivity for silicon nitride against silicon oxide, and a storage medium storing the method thereon. In the method for etching, by an etching solution, a substrate on which silicon nitride and silicon oxide are exposed, the etching solution is produced by mixing a fluorine ion source material, water and a boiling point adjusting agent; the produced etching solution is heated to a substrate processing temperature equal to or higher than 140° C.; after a temperature of the etching solution reaches the substrate processing temperature, the temperature of the etching solution is maintained at the substrate processing temperature for a first preset time; and after a lapse of the first preset time, the substrate is etched by the etching solution maintained at the substrate processing temperature.
