Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus includes a holder configured to hold a substrate; a driving unit configured to rotate the holder; an inner cup body provided in the holder to surround the substrate held by the holder; a mist guard, surrounding the holder and the inner cup body, configured to be moved up and down; a cleaning liquid supply configured to supply a cleaning liquid; and a controller. The controller is configured to perform: supplying a processing liquid to the substrate from a processing liquid supply, in a state that the substrate is held by the holder and the mist guard is raised; and dispersing, after the supplying of the processing liquid, the cleaning liquid supplied from the cleaning liquid supply to an entire inner peripheral surface of the mist guard, in a state that the substrate is carried out from the holder and the mist guard is raised.

Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus includes: a temperature raising part for raising a temperature of a first sulfuric acid; a mixing part for mixing the first sulfuric acid where the temperature is raised by the temperature raising part with a moisture-containing liquid to generate a mixed solution; and a discharging part for discharging the mixed solution onto a substrate inside a substrate processing part. The mixing part includes: a joining portion where a sulfuric acid supply line through which the first sulfuric acid where the temperature is raised by the temperature raising part flows and a liquid supply line through which the first sulfuric acid where the temperature is raised by the temperature raising part and the moisture-containing liquid flows are joined; and a reaction suppression mechanism for suppressing a reaction between the first sulfuric acid and the moisture-containing liquid in the joining portion.

Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus includes a stationary cup body 51 provided to surround a substrate holding unit 31 and configured to receive a processing liquid or mist of the processing liquid discharged onto a substrate, the stationary cup body not being moved relatively with respect to a processing vessel; a mist guard 80; and a guard elevating mechanism 84 configured to elevate the mist guard. Here, the mist guard is provided at an outside of the stationary cup body to surround the stationary cup body and configured to block a liquid scattered outwards beyond a space above the stationary cup body. Further, the mist guard includes a cylindrical portion 81 of a cylindrical shape and a protruding portion 82 protruded from an upper portion of the cylindrical portion toward an inside of the cylindrical portion.
