A substrate processing system comprises a substrate processing apparatus, a vacuum transport chamber, a transport mechanism, a suction mechanism and a controller. The substrate processing apparatus includes a vacuum processing chamber configured to perform processing of a substrate. The vacuum transport chamber is connected to the vacuum processing chamber and includes a transport port communicating with the vacuum processing chamber. The transport mechanism is disposed inside the vacuum transport chamber and configured to transport at least the substrate via the transport port. The suction mechanism is disposed inside the vacuum transport chamber and configured to suck an adhered object of a part inside the vacuum processing chamber via the transport port. The controller is configured to control the transport mechanism and the suction mechanism.
