<p>A substrate treating apparatus for immersing substrates in a treating liquid. An inner tank stores the treating liquid, an outer tank collects the treating liquid overflowing the inner tank, and a lifter moves the substrates between a standby position above the inner tank and a treating position inside the inner tank. Circulation piping connects the inner tank and the outer tank. The treating liquid overflows the inner tank into the outer tank in a treating state with the lifter and the substrates located in the treating position. The treating liquid remains in the inner tank without overflowing in a non-treating state with the lifter and the substrates located in the standby position. The treating liquid flows from the inner tank to the outer tank through the circulating piping in a non-treating circulation state before the lifter moves the substrates to the treating position.</p> |
