A coating device includes a coating mechanism which includes nozzles for ejecting a liquid material onto front and rear surfaces of the substrate while rotating a substrate in an upright state at a predetermined coating position, a carrying mechanism which carries the substrate between a substrate loading position, the coating position, and a substrate unloading position, and a dummy substrate holding mechanism which holds a dummy substrate at a holding position which is a position different from the substrate loading position, the coating position, and the substrate unloading position, and at which the carrying mechanism is allowed to connect with the dummy substrate.
