Abstract:
A rinse processing method, a developing processing apparatus, and a recording medium for recording a control program read by computer are provided to reduce defects in a developing process by determining rapidly optimum rinsing conditions. A rinse processing method is used for developing an exposure pattern and rinsing a substrate. The rinse processing method includes a process for setting rinse processing conditions according to a surface state of the substrate, a process for measuring the surface state of the substrate, a process for selecting the corresponding rinse processing conditions according to the surface state of the measured substrate, and a process for performing a rinsing process under the rinse processing conditions.
