Coating and developing apparatus, developing method and non-transitory medium

Abstract

A coating and developing apparatus develops a substrate of which surface is coated with resist and exposed to lights. The coating and developing apparatus includes a developing module; a cleaning module; and a transfer mechanism configured to transfer a substrate developed by the developing module to the cleaning module. The developing module includes an airtightly sealed processing vessel configured to form a processing atmosphere; a temperature control plate provided in the processing vessel and mounts thereon the substrate and cools the substrate; and an atmosphere gas supply unit configured to supply an atmosphere gas including mist of a developing solution to a surface of the substrate within the processing vessel. The cleaning module includes a mounting table configured to mount thereon the substrate; and a cleaning solution supply unit configured to supply a cleaning solution to the substrate mounted on the mounting table.
