Assignee: TOKYO ELECTRON LIMITED
Field: Semiconductors (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 7:
8. The substrate processing apparatus of claim 5,
wherein the second side placing units are arranged in a row in a longitudinal direction,
in the relay block, a post-exposure processing module configured to process the substrate which is exposed by the exposure apparatus and is not developed; and a staying module located deviating from the row of the second side placing units and configured to place and hold the substrate which is not processed by the second processing module are provided,
wherein the second side transfer mechanism includes:
a first second-side transfer mechanism configured to transfer the substrate among the post-exposure processing module, the staying module and the second side placing units; and
a second second-side transfer mechanism configured to transfer the substrate between the post-exposure processing module and the second side placing units, and
wherein a substrate transfer region of the second second-side transfer mechanism is longer in the longitudinal direction than a substrate transfer region of the first second-side transfer mechanism.
