However, all of the above-mentioned conventional developing methods have a problem that the developer is wasted and the developer is consumed in a large amount. Needless to say, the spray method and the dip method consume a large amount of the developing solution, but the paddle method is not efficient because the developing solution is deposited for each wafer. In addition, in these conventional methods, the developing solution easily adheres to the back surface of the wafer or the wafer support member, sprinkles, and wraps around,
There is a pollution problem. Further, the paddle method has a problem that it is difficult to uniformly spread the developing solution on the wafer.

At the time of development, as shown in FIG. 7, the wafer support 22 and the support rod 18 are tilted horizontally by the horizontal erection drive unit 42, and the wafer 10 is erected vertically. Develop according to the method. When the development is completed, the wafer 10 is separated from the wafer 12,
The developer D is shaken off by rotating at a high speed (for example, 2000 rpm) in a vertical posture. Next, the horizontal erection drive unit 42 vertically raises the wafer support 22 and the support rods 18 to make the wafer 10 horizontal. Then, the cup 48 is lowered to the height position of the wafer 10 from above by the support rod 46, and the cup 48 surrounds the wafer 10 as shown in FIG. By configuring the cup 48 so that it can be divided into two parts, the inner diameter of the lower end portion of the cup 48 becomes smaller than that of the wafer 1 as shown in the drawing.
Even if the diameter is smaller than 0, the wafer 10 can be accommodated in the cup 48. Thus, with the wafer 10 accommodated in the cup 48, the rinse nozzle 50 is lowered from above, and the surface 10 of the wafer 10 is removed from the nozzle 50.
The rinse liquid R is discharged toward a. On the other hand, the support rod 18
The wafer 10 is rotated at an appropriate rotation speed, for example, 2000
Turn at rpm. As a result, the rinse liquid R is evenly applied to the surface 10a of the wafer 10, and the developer D is washed off. The drainage R ′ is collected at the bottom of the cup 48 and then sent from the drain port 48 a to the drain tank (not shown) via the drain pipe 52. The developer D may be shaken off in a state where the cup 48 surrounds the wafer 10 as shown in FIG.
