PURPOSE:To effectively remove electricity of a substrate-housing jig and of a semiconductor substrate housed in the jig by a method wherein the substrate is housed in the substrate-housing jig and a film of a volatile organic solvent is formed on the surface of the substrate-housing jig in a state that the substrate-housing jig has been grounded. CONSTITUTION:Substrates 4 are inserted into a jig 1 from an upperpart opening part 1a and are held in the jig so as to be separated from each other. A holding member 3 is grounded; the jig 1 is held on a reservoir 2 of a volatile organic solvent such as IPA or the like in a container 2a which has been grounded in the same manner. Then, the holding member 3 is lowered; the jig 1 is immersed completely in the reservoir 2 of the IPA together with the semiconductor substrates 4 housed in the jig 1. Then, the jig 1 is pulled up from the reservoir 2 at a proper speed and is dried. During this process, an IPA film is formed on the surface of the jig 1; an electric charge is conducted immediately to the conductive holding member 3 through the film and is made to escape to a ground. Also an electric charge generated in the semiconductor substrates 4 housed in the jig 1 is made to flow to the IPA film with which the jig 1 is covered at a contact point with the jig 1, and is made to escape to the ground through the holding member 3.
