To provide a substrate processing apparatus which effectively removes contaminants adhered to inclined surfaces Bf, Br formed on a peripheral edge E of a substrate W by using an adhesive roller 84.
In a substrate processing apparatus, an adhesive roller 84 contacting with a peripheral edge E of a substrate W through an adhesive layer 84a is relatively moved against the substrate W along the peripheral edge E of the substrate W while rotating it (movement operation). The adhesive layer 84a is relatively moved against the substrate W in rotational axis directions Df, Db in a state that the peripheral edge E of the substrate W eats into the adhesive layer 84a during the movement operation, thereby bringing the adhesive layer 84a into contact with inclined surfaces Bf, Br. Particles adhered to the inclined surfaces Bf, Br formed on the peripheral edge E of the substrate W are captured by the adhesive layer 84a of the adhesive roller 84 and effectively removed.
