Patent ID: 7665415

Claim:
A substrate processing apparatus that performs a predetermined processing of a substrate by supplying chemical solutions stored in a plurality of chemical solution containers to a corresponding substrate processing part, comprising: (a) a read part that reads each item of data about the plurality of said chemical solution containers; (b) a storing portion configured to store a data base pertaining to the plurality of said chemical solution containers; (c) a register part that registers and associates a type of a chemical solution and a placement position thereof, for each of the plurality of said chemical solution containers in said data base; (d) a display part that notifies condition of a chemical solution in each of the plurality of said chemical solution containers arranged at the placement position; and (e) a controller configured: (i) to notify said placement position of an empty chemical solution container with a first display of said display part; and (ii) to notify said placement position of said empty chemical solution container with a second display of said display part, which is located outside of said substrate processing apparatus, after said first display is executed, when the type of the chemical solution, read by said read part, is identical with a type of a chemical solution being extracted from said data base in accordance with said placement position of said empty chemical solution container.
