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 20):
An alignment method including:\n moving a movable member provided with a light guide member having a second light receiver and a second light emitter relative to a fixed portion provided with an optical sensor having a first light emitter and a first light receiver; emitting light from the first light emitter of the optical sensor, and receiving light that is received by the second light receiver of the light guide member and then emitted from the second light emitter of the light guide member using the first light receiver of the optical sensor; and determining whether the movable portion has a predetermined positional relationship with the fixed portion based on an output signal of the optical sensor.
