Abstract
A substrate processing apparatus includes: a processing block in which a substrate is sequentially transferred and processed; a carry-in/out transfer mechanism that carrys-in/out the substrate with respect to modules; a carry-out module configured to place the substrate therein after the substrate is processed; a multi-module configured by a plurality of modules having a same order in which the substrate is transferred in the processing block; a main transfer mechanism that moves around in a transfer path provided in the processing block to deliver the substrate among the modules; and a controller that sets a first transfer schedule including determination of a number of modules to become transfer destinations of the substrate in the multi-module, and determination of a number of stay cycles which is a number of times that the main transfer mechanism moves around after the substrate is carried into the multi-module until the substrate is carried out.
