  • Publication number: 20230154776
    Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus includes: a chamber that accommodates a boat; a transfer mechanism that is provided inside the chamber, and transfers a substrate; a first camera that captures an image of a support column of the boat and the substrate; a support member that is inserted through an opening formed in a wall surface of the chamber, and supports the first camera; and a driver that drives the support member in order to move the first camera between a standby position and a measurement position.

  • Publication number: 20220383536
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus of a substrate processing apparatus including a transport device includes an image data acquisition unit that acquires image data of a disposing position of a processing target substrate, a first image processing unit that digitizes a positional relationship among the transport source object, the transport device, and the substrate, a second image processing unit that digitizes a positional relationship among the transport destination object, the transport device, and the substrate, a first transfer teaching unit that outputs first correction data of the moving operation of the transport device of receiving the substrate from the transport source object, and a second transfer teaching unit that outputs second correction data of the moving operation of the transport device of disposing the substrate in the transport destination object.

  • Publication number: 20210398342
    Abstract: There is provided a teaching method for a transfer device configured to transfer a substrate between a transfer source object and a transfer destination object on which the substrate is disposable. The teaching method includes: generating three-dimensional image data of a shape of the transfer source object, a shape of the transfer destination object, and a state of the substrate based on captured image data of the transfer source object, the transfer destination object, and the substrate captured by a capturing unit, and based on design data of the transfer source object, the transfer destination object, and the substrate; and teaching the transfer device based on the three-dimensional image data so that the substrate is transferred between the transfer source object and the transfer destination object without colliding with the transfer source object and the transfer destination object.
