摘要:
There is disclosed a developing method of developing a photo-sensitive resist film in which a desired pattern is exposed, including subjecting the exposed photosensitive resist film to a first developing treatment; supplying a cleaning solution having an oxidizing property or alkalinity with respect to the surface of the resist film to the photosensitive resist film subject to the first developing treatment to perform a first cleaning treatment; subjecting the photosensitive resist film subjected to the first cleaning treatment to a second developing treatment; and subjecting the photosensitive resist film subjected to the second developing treatment to a second cleaning treatment.
