The substrate processing apparatus 1 includes a rotating/holding unit 21 configured to rotate and hold the wafer W; a processing liquid discharging unit 73 configured to discharge the processing liquid toward the peripheral portion of the wafer W held by the rotating/holding unit 21; a variation width acquiring unit configured to acquire information upon a variation width of a deformation amount of the peripheral portion of the wafer W; and a discharge controller 7 configured to control a discharge angle and a discharge position of the processing liquid from the processing liquid discharging unit 73 onto the peripheral portion based on the information upon the variation width of the deformation amount of the peripheral portion acquired by the variation width acquiring unit.

A device for coating a metal strip substrate includes a guiding apparatus for guiding the strip substrate along a movement path. A first coating apparatus coats a first main side of the strip substrate with an electrostatically charged coating powder which is in a fluidized state. The first coating apparatus is arranged under a first path section of the movement path. A second coating apparatus coats a second main side of the strip substrate with an electrostatically charged coating powder which is in a fluidized state.
