Abstract

A substrate processing system includes a vacuum transfer module; a plasma process module; a transfer robot in the vacuum transfer module; a stage in the plasma process module; a first ring disposed on the stage and a second ring disposed on the first ring to surround a substrate that is placed on the stage, the second ring having an inner diameter smaller than an inner diameter of the first ring; actuators to move support pins vertically to raise the first and the second rings and a transfer jig; and a controller configured to selectively execute a simultaneous transfer mode in which the transfer robot is caused to simultaneously transfer the first ring and the second ring and a sole transfer mode in which the transfer robot is caused to transfer only the second ring.
