ABSTRACT:
A coating process comprises the steps of (a) holding a substrate using a spin chuck surrounded by inner and outer cups, such that the substrate can rotate, (b) rotating the substrate by rotating the spin chuck, and applying a coating liquid onto the substrate, thereby forming a coating on the substrate, (c) discharging, from the inner and outer cups, that part of the coating liquid which is scattered from the substrate while the substrate is rotated, (d) exhausting the inner and outer cups through a plurality of exhaust ports formed in outer peripheral portions of the outer cup, and (e) reducing, from a peripheral region of the substrate, the mist of the coating liquid which has occurred during the step (b), before the substrate stops rotation.
