A coating apparatus coats a liquid material on a substrate in a coating chamber. A first liquid supply system that supplies the liquid material is provided in the coating chamber. A second liquid supply system is provided in the first liquid supply system that supplies a liquid that cleans or that deactivates the liquid material remaining in the coating chamber and/or in the first liquid supply system. A coating apparatus, a thin film forming method, a thin film forming apparatus, a semiconductor device manufacturing method, an electro-optic device, and an electronic instrument are provided that enable a high performance thin film with few defects and with a high degree of reproducibility to be obtained, that allow maintenance of the apparatus to be performed efficiently and safely, and that enable a thin film to be formed at low cost.
