Claim 4:
5. A processing system comprising:
a substrate processing apparatus configured to process a substrate;
a transfer device having an end effector configured to hold the substrate and a member including a consumable part disposed in the substrate processing apparatus, the transfer device being configured to transfer the substrate and the member; and
a substrate accommodating device configured to store the substrate temporarily, wherein
the substrate accommodating device has a container including a stage on which the substrate is to be placed,
a first opening through which the end effector holding the substrate passes is formed on a sidewall of the container,
a recess into which a front end of the end effector is inserted is formed on an inner surface of the container facing the first opening, and
the recess accommodates the front end of the end effector, under a condition where the end effector holding the substrate is located at a position inside the container where a center of gravity of the substrate held by the end effector and a center of gravity of the stage coincides, the front end of the end effector passing through an imaginary line of the inner surface of the container under the condition.
