Abstract: A spin treatment apparatus includes an annular liquid receiver, an annular cup body and an annular partitioning member. The annular liquid receiver surrounds a rotating substrate at a distance from an outer periphery of the substrate and is configured to receive liquid flying from the rotating substrate and accommodate the liquid. The annular cup body surrounds the liquid receiver at a distance from an outer periphery of the liquid receiver and forms an annular outer exhaust flow channel for generating an airflow along an upper surface to an outer peripheral surface of the liquid receiver. The annular partitioning member is provided inside the annular liquid receiver and forms an annular inner exhaust flow channel for generating an airflow along an inner peripheral surface to a lower surface of the liquid receiver.
