Abstract:
In a substrate processing apparatus, an optical sensor is provided at a hand that transports a substrate to a processing unit, and an optical fiber is provided at a fixed member that has a certain positional relationship with a spin chuck in the processing unit. When the hand has a predetermined positional relationship with the spin chuck in the processing unit, the light emitted from a first light emitter of the optical sensor is received by a second light receiver of the optical fiber and guided to a second light emitter of the optical fiber, and the light emitted from the second light emitter is received by a first light receiver. A light receiving signal corresponding to an amount of light received by the first light receiver is output from the optical sensor.

Claim (Index 10):
An alignment device comprising:\n a fixed portion; a movable portion that is movable relative to the fixed portion; an optical sensor that is provided at one of the fixed portion and the movable portion and has a first light emitter and a first light receiver; a light guide member that is provided at another one of the fixed portion and the movable portion, and has a second light receiver corresponding to the first light emitter and a second light emitter corresponding to the first light receiver; and a determiner that determines whether the movable portion has a predetermined positional relationship with the fixed portion based on an output signal of the optical sensor, wherein the first light emitter, the first light receiver, the second light emitter and the second light receiver are arranged such that light emitted from the first light emitter is received by the second light receiver when the movable portion has the predetermined positional relationship with the fixed portion, and are arranged such that light emitted from the second light emitter is received by the first light receiver when the movable portion has the predetermined positional relationship with the fixed portion.
