Claims
- 1. A method of resist-processing a rectangular substrate comprising, the steps of;
- a resist coating step of supplying resist solution to the substrate, while spin-rotating the substrate, to form resist film at least on one surface of the substrate; and
- a resist removing step of jetting removing liquid, which can dissolve the resist, to peripheral portions of both surfaces of the substrate to remove the resist film from the peripheral portions.
- 2. The resist processing method according to claim 1, wherein the resist film is simultaneously removed from the peripheral portions of the substrate at four sides thereof in the resist removing step.
- 3. The resist processing method according to claim 1, wherein said resist removing step comprises a first removing step of removing the resist film, at the same time, from the peripheral portions of the substrate at two sides thereof and a second removing step of removing the resist film, at the same time, from the peripheral portions of the substrate at other two sides thereof.
- 4. The resist processing method according to claim 1, wherein the resist removing process further includes an auxiliary cleaning step, by which the removing liquid, which can dissolve resist, is blown to a lower surface of the substrate to remove the resist film from the lower surface.
- 5. The resist processing method according to claim 1, wherein the resist film is removed from a lower surface of the substrate at a larger area thereof than that of an upper surface thereof in the resist removing step.
- 6. The resist processing method according to claim 1, wherein each side peripheral portion of the substrate from which the resist film is removed in the resist removing step has a width of 5-10 mm when measured from the rim of the substrate.
- 7. A method of resist-processing a rectangular substrate comprising;
- spin-rotating the substrate while supplying resist solution into a process vessel;
- exhausting the process vessel while introducing an outside air into said process vessel to generate air current flowing above the substrate which is being resist-coated and from the center to the outer rim of the substrate; and
- replacing atmosphere in the process vessel by the outside air after the resist coating step is finished.
