    Abstract: A substrate processing method includes: generating a mixture liquid by mixing a phosphoric acid aqueous solution with an additive that suppresses precipitation of silicon oxide in a tank and circulating the mixture liquid through a circulation path that exits and returns to the tank, the circulation path including a back pressure valve; sending the mixture liquid to a processing bath through a liquid path diverging from the circulation path and positioned upstream from the back pressure valve; and supplying a silicon-containing compound aqueous solution to the mixture liquid generated in the generating. The back pressure valve is fully open in the generating and throttled in the sending. A substrate processing apparatus includes a processing bath, a mixing device, a liquid path, and a silicon solution supply.

    Abstract: A control device of a substrate processing apparatus includes a reading unit, an estimation unit, a comparison unit, and a correction unit. The reading unit reads out a reference processing condition for processing a substrate. The estimation unit estimates an actual processing condition when the substrate is processed. The comparison unit compares the reference processing condition and the actual processing condition with each other. The correction unit corrects a processing condition for the substrate based on a comparison result in the comparison unit.

    Abstract: [Problem] To provide a liquid processing method with which, while alleviating a watermark occurring in the surface of a substrate, it is possible to hydrophobize the surface using a hydrophobing gas. [Solution] A substrate (W), retained in substrate retaining parts (21, 22, 23), is rotated and has a liquid compound supplied to the surface thereof, whereby a liquid process is carried out. Next, a rinse liquid is supplied to the surface of the substrate (W) while the substrate (W) is rotated, and the liquid compound is replaced with the rinse liquid. Next, supplying a hydrophobing gas for hydrophobizing the surface of the substrate (W) and supplying the rinse liquid to the surface of the substrate (W) after supplying the hydrophobing gas are repeated alternately, thus hydrophobizing the substrate (W). Next, the rinse liquid is removed by rotating the substrate (W), drying the substrate (W).

    Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus includes: a processing container, a mixing device, a liquid feeding path, and a controller. The processing container processes a substrate by immersing the substrate in a processing liquid. The mixing device mixes a phosphoric acid aqueous solution and an additive, to produce a mixed liquid to be used as a raw material of the processing liquid. The liquid feeding path feeds the mixed liquid from the mixing device to the processing container. The controller controls the substrate processing apparatus. The controller performs a control to feed the mixed liquid from the mixing device to the processing container in which the substrate is immersed, after a phosphoric acid concentration of the mixed liquid is regulated from a first concentration to a second concentration higher than the first concentration. The first concentration is a concentration when the phosphoric acid aqueous solution is supplied to the mixing device.
