PURPOSE: A substrate processor and a method therefor are provided to increase uniformity of processing, when a substrate, e.g. a wafer is subjected to development processing, etc. CONSTITUTION: In a state where a wafer is held by a wafer holding section and a temperature controlled liquid is discharged to a rim area on a rear face of the wafer from flow channels, a developing solution is heaped on a front face of the wafer. Thereafter, the wafer is rotated for a predetermined period of time in a state where the temperature controlled liquid is discharged to the rim area on the rear face of the wafer from the flow channels, whereby developing is performed. The wafer is heated by the wafer holding section with a large heat capacity in an area close to a center of the wafer, and a liquid film of the temperature controlled liquid is formed in the rim area of the wafer, whereby the wafer is heated. At this time, the wafer is rotated, so that the developing solution is stirred.
