Abstract

Provided is a substrate transfer device comprising: a tile part forming a moving surface of an area where a substrate is transferred and provided with a plurality of first coils that generate magnetic field on the moving surface by a power supplied from a power supply part; and a substrate transfer module including a plurality of magnets that exert a repulsive force against the magnetic field and a substrate holder configured to hold a substrate to be transferred, the substrate transfer module configured to move above the moving surface by magnetic levitation using the repulsive force, wherein the substrate transfer module includes a second coil for wirelessly supplying a power to a power consuming device provided in the substrate transfer module during movement above the moving surface using an electromotive force that is exerted against the magnetic field generated by the first coils.
