Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an applying/developing apparatus, capable of transferring a substrate from an exposure system to a heating section, and restraining a resolution reaction from proceeding in a resist so as to improve a developed line in uniformity of width. SOLUTION: The inside of an interface station S3 located between a processing station S2, at which a development process is carried out and an exposure system S4 is cooled down to a temperature of 10 to 15 deg.C at which a resolution reaction hardly proceeds, and a heating section 31 promoting a resolution reaction in resist is provided inside the interface station S3. By this setup, a wafer W subjected to an exposure processing can be transferred from the exposure system S4 to the heating section 31 in a state of restraining resolution reaction from proceeding in resist, so that resist can be kept almost at the same level of resolution reaction, and a developed line can be improved in uniformity of width, by preventing unevenness from occurring in its width.
