Abstract:
1. A substrate processing apparatus that loads a substrate holding part having many substrates which are held horizontally in a state where the substrates are aligned in the vertical direction with their centers set on the same vertical axis into a processing furnace and which performs a predetermined processing to the substrates, the substrate processing apparatus comprising: a storage unit having a configuration that accumulates and stores production information relating to the substrate for each processing, the production information being produced when the substrate is processed; a display part having a configuration that displays production histories stored in the storage unit; an operation unit having a configuration that includes a reception part for receiving plural selections of the displayed production history and a substrate information switching part having a configuration that switches to a substrate information screen for showing information relating to a state of the substrates held in the substrate holding part; and a display control unit configured to control a display of information including the state in which the substrates are held in the substrate holding part with respect to the production histories displayed on the display part, wherein when the substrate information switching part is activated, the display control unit is configured to that display a variation in the state of transfer between the plural batches of the substrates on the substrate information screen for each of the selected production histories, the variation in the state of transfer is based on: (1) a presence or absence of substrates between the plural batches, or (2) a type of each substrate between the plural batches, the variation being detected through comparing the plural batches of the selected production histories, wherein the information relating to a state of the substrates held in the substrate holding part is the existence of the substrate.
