Claim 5:
6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the floor surface portion of the at least one substrate processing chamber is provided with a traveling surface-side magnet for the processing chamber-inside substrate transfer part to form a third traveling surface on which the processing chamber-inside substrate transfer part is moved,
wherein the processing chamber-inside substrate transfer part is configured with a plurality of substrate support modules configured to perform magnetic floating using a repulsive force acting with the traveling surface-side magnet for the processing chamber-inside substrate transfer part, each of the plurality of substrate support modules including: a floating body portion provided with a floating body-side magnet for the processing chamber-inside substrate transfer part; and a support portion provided to extend in a horizontal direction toward each of the plurality of openings when viewed from the floating body portion and configured to support a lower surface of the substrate, and
wherein the plurality of substrate support modules are configured to cooperate with each other in a state of supporting the substrate common to the support portions of the plurality of substrate support modules, pass through the non-traveling region in a state in which the floating body portions are positioned in the at least one substrate processing chamber, and execute the transfer of the substrate to the at least one substrate delivery part by causing the support portions to protrude from each of the plurality of openings.
