    Abstract: A flow-rate regulator device for controlling a flow rate of a liquid includes a first flow-rate regulator component positioned on an upstream side of a liquid line, and a second flow-rate regulator component positioned on a downstream side of the liquid line and connected in series to the first flow-rate regulator component. The first flow-rate regulator component adjusts a degree of opening such that a flow rate of liquid flowing through the liquid line is set a specified number of times greater than a target flow rate when the second flow-rate regulator component has a full opening, and the second flow-rate regulator component adjusts a degree of opening such that the flow rate of the liquid flowing through the liquid line is to be at the target flow rate when the first flow-rate regulator component is adjusted to have the degree of opening.

    Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus comprising a holding unit, a liquid supply unit, a recovery unit, a circulation path, a gas supply unit, and a control unit. The holding unit holds a substrate. The liquid supply unit supplies a processing liquid to a first major surface of the substrate being held by the holding unit. The recovery unit recovers the processing liquid that has been used for processing the substrate. The circulation path returns the processing liquid recovered by the recovery unit back to the liquid supply unit. The gas supply unit supplies a gas to a second major surface to the substrate being held by the holding unit opposite to the first major surface. The control unit controls the liquid supply unit and the gas supply unit. The control unit, when the processing liquid planned to be returned back to the liquid supply unit by the circulation path is supplied to the first major surface, causes the gas to be supplied to the second major surface.
