Abstract
A substrate processing apparatus includes processing parts performing substrate processing on target substrates, respectively, substrate mounting tables mounting the target substrates thereon in the respective processing parts, gas introducing members introducing processing gases into processing spaces, a common exhaust mechanism evacuating the processing spaces at once and further performing pressure control for the processing spaces at once, and a pressure measuring part configured to selectively monitor a pressure in any one of the plurality of processing spaces by using a pressure gauge. The pressure measuring part includes pipelines having pressure-measuring pipelines configured to connect the processing spaces to the pressure gauge and dummy pipelines configured to communicate with the processing spaces, which adjust a difference between a volume of the pipelines communicating with a monitored processing space of the processing spaces and a volume of the pipelines communicating with each of non-monitored processing spaces.
