  • Patent number: 9558304
    Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus includes a substrate processing apparatus, including: a substrate processing chamber configured to accommodate a substrate and process the substrate; a piping coupled to the substrate processing chamber to allow a gas for processing the substrate to be introduced therethrough; and a simulation apparatus configured to simulate a path in which the gas for processing the substrate flows through the piping. The simulation apparatus includes: an information acquisition unit configured to acquire gas flow information defined by an operation mode in which the substrate is processed; a path determination unit configured to determine a gas path based on the gas flow information acquired by the information acquisition unit; and a simulation unit configured to simulate a flow of the gas by putting a color defined according to the type of gas on the gas path determined by the path determination unit.
