Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus includes; a carrier block; a first processing block including first lower and upper processing blocks to deliver a substrate to and from the carrier block; a second processing block including second lower and upper processing blocks provided adjacent to the first lower and upper processing blocks; a relay block including a lifting and transferring mechanism that delivers the substrate between the second lower and upper processing blocks; a controller that controls an operation of each main transfer mechanism such that one of upper and lower processing blocks forms an outward path through which the substrate is transferred from the carrier block to the relay block and the other forms a return path through which the substrate is transferred from the relay block to the carrier block; and a bypass transfer mechanism provided for each of the first and second processing blocks.

Abstract: A relay device includes a controller, a capacitor included in a charger, and a discharge circuit that discharges electric charge charged to the capacitor. The discharge circuit includes a discharge resistance, a first relay switch connected to the discharge resistance and having a contact point that becomes a closed state by electric conduction to an exciting coil, and a second relay switch connected in parallel to the first relay switch and having a contact point that becomes an open state by electric conduction to an exciting coil. The controller, by mutually switching between a state in which the first relay switch is turned on and the second relay switch is turned off and a state in which the first relay switch is turned off and the second relay switch is turned on, determines abnormality of the first relay switch and the second relay switch.
