Liquid processing apparatus and liquid processing method

A liquid processing apparatus that performs predetermined processing by supplying a processing liquid to a substrate, comprising:

• a rotation holder that holds the substrate in a horizontal attitude and rotates the substrate about a vertical axis;
• a nozzle that has one discharge port extending continuously in one direction or a plurality of discharge ports intermittently arranged in the one direction and discharges a processing liquid to an upper surface of the substrate rotated by the rotation holder;
• a processing liquid supplier that supplies the processing liquid to the nozzle;
• and
• a mover that moves the nozzle in a direction of a straight line with part of the processing liquid discharged from the nozzle being supplied onto the straight line on the upper surface of the substrate and with a liquid receiving region that receives the processing liquid on the upper surface of the substrate extending in a direction inclined with respect to the straight line, the straight line passing through a rotational center of the substrate rotated by the rotation holder, and
• the liquid receiving region has first and second ends, and the second end is located farther away from the rotational center of the substrate than the first end, and is located farther downstream than the first end in a rotation direction of the substrate.
