- the liquid flow dispersion member 8 may be directly attached to the inner wall of the processing tank 1.
- the treatment liquid containing phosphoric acid has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to the treatment liquid containing phosphoric acid.
- the treatment liquid may be, for example, a mixed liquid of sulfuric acid / hydrogen peroxide solution.
- the overflow tank 3 is provided around the processing tank 1, but the present invention is not limited to such a form.
- a configuration may be employed in which a chamber surrounding the processing tank 1 is provided and the processing liquid overflowing from the processing tank 1 is recovered at the bottom of the chamber.
- the liquid flow dispersion member 8 is provided in the direction along the bottom surface of the processing tank 1, but may be provided in a vertical direction from the bottom surface of the processing tank 1, for example. In this case, it can be provided at the side of the arrangement of the plurality of substrates W held by the lifter 5, that is, at the left and right positions of the lifter 5 in FIG. In the depth direction of FIG. 1, it is preferably provided at a position between a plurality of substrates W.
- the treatment liquid in the upper part of the treatment tank 1 is stirred or the flow is made uniform.
- the liquid flow is dispersed in the direction of the arrangement of the substrates W on the side of the arrangement of the plurality of substrates W held by the lifter 5, that is, on the left and right sides of the lifter 5 in FIG.
- a member may be provided to make the flow uniform.
- a nozzle that supplies the processing liquid in a shower shape toward the upper part of the processing tank 1 may be provided to promote stirring of the processing liquid in the upper part of the processing tank 1.
- the present invention is suitable for a substrate processing apparatus that performs processing with a processing solution.
