US Patent 11543752 Substrate processing method, substrate processing apparatus, and recipe selection method

A substrate processing method includes a preprocessing forming step of forming a preprocessing film on a surface of a substrate having the surface on which a first region and a second region in which different substances are exposed are present, a preprocessing film separating step of separating the preprocessing film from the surface of the substrate with a stripping liquid, a processing film forming step of forming a processing film on the surface of the substrate after the preprocessing film separating step, and a processing film separating step of separating the processing film from the surface of the substrate with the stripping liquid. A removal capacity for the processing film to remove the first removal target present in the second region is higher than a removal capacity for the preprocessing film to remove the first removal target present in the second region, and a removal capacity for the preprocessing film to remove the first removal target present in the first region is higher than a removal capacity for the processing film to remove the first removal target present in the first region.
