Abstract

A substrate transfer method for transferring a substrate using a first transfer body and at least one second transfer body comprises transferring the substrate using the first transfer body to a predetermined first substrate reference position in a module, receiving the substrate at the first substrate reference position using the second transfer body, and transferring the substrate to a detection device by moving the second transfer body to a predetermined first transfer body reference position and detecting positional misalignment in plan view between a position of the substrate and a predetermined second substrate reference position in the detection device. Each of the first transfer body and the second transfer body floats from a bottom portion of a substrate transfer area by a magnetic force and moves in a horizontal direction while supporting the substrate.
