1. A substrate processing method of processing a substrate, comprising:
forming a modification layer on a surface layer of a rear surface of the substrate by radiating a laser beam; and
processing a front surface of the substrate in a state that the rear surface of the substrate is held by a holder,
wherein in the forming of the modification layer, the modification layer is formed on the surface layer of the rear surface of the substrate such that the rear surface is roughened, thereby decreasing a frictional force between the roughened rear surface of the substrate and a holding surface of the holder.
