Abstract: An upper processing liquid nozzle moves back and forth between a processing position above a substrate held on a spin chuck and a standby position outside a processing cup. Before a processing liquid is discharged from the upper processing liquid nozzle having moved to the processing position, a camera takes a discharge standard image of an imaging region including the tip of the upper processing liquid nozzle. Then, multiple monitor target images of the imaging region taken successively by the camera are compared sequentially to the discharge standard image to determine discharge of a processing liquid from the upper processing liquid nozzle. The discharge standard image is obtained for each process on a new target substrate. This eliminates influence of a substrate surface to appear as a background both of the monitor target image and the discharge standard image. Thus, discharge of a processing liquid can be detected reliably.

Abstract: A position detection apparatus detects the positions of movable parts 33, 43, 53 which are movable within processing space SP inside a chamber 90. An imaging device 72 shoots reference sections 61-64, which are disposed inside the chamber 90 and the positions of which are known, and the movable parts and accordingly obtains an original image. An image processor 86 executes image processing which is for detecting the movable parts and the reference sections from the original image. An image detector 86 detects the positions of the movable parts within the processing space in accordance with position information which is indicative of the positions of the movable parts and the reference sections within the original image. It is possible to accurately detect the positions of the movable parts while suppressing the influence exerted by deviation of the imaging device.

Abstract: An ejection inspection part of a substrate processing apparatus includes a light emitting part and an imaging part. The light emitting part emits light along a predetermined light existing plane to irradiate a processing liquid ejected from outlets of an ejection head with the light. The imaging part captures an image of the processing liquid passing through planar light emitted from the light emitting part to acquire an inspection image including bright dots. In the ejection inspection part, a determination frame setting part sets normal ejection determination frames corresponding to the outlets in the inspection image. The determination part acquires existence information indicating whether or not a bright dot exists in each normal ejection determination frame and uses the existence information to determine the quality of the ejection operation of the outlet corresponding to the normal ejection determination frame.
