Abstract
A substrate processing apparatus includes: a group of modules including a plurality of processing modules that process a substrate and a plurality of relay modules on which the substrates are disposed to be transferred among the plurality of processing modules; a plurality of transfer mechanisms that transfer the substrates in an assigned section of a transfer path; a shared transfer mechanism shared for transfer in a first section and a second section separated from each other in the transfer path of the substrate; and a determination unit that determines a transfer destination of the substrates by the shared transfer mechanism between the first relay module and the second relay module based on a transfer status of the substrate in each section.
