  • Patent number: 10483139
    Abstract: The substrate processing apparatus includes a plurality of processing units each capable of performing plural kinds of processes to a substrate under plural kinds of processing conditions, and a substrate transfer mechanism that transfers a substrate to each processing unit. In one embodiment, as an operation mode of each processing unit, a monitoring mode correlated with a processing liquid to be used can be set. When at least one of the processing units is set in the monitoring mode, the substrate transfer mechanism is not uniformly prohibited to load a product substrate to the processing unit set in the monitoring mode, but is allowed to load a product wafer to be subjected to a process correlated with a processing condition, which is different from the processing condition correlated with the monitoring mode, into any one of the at least one processing unit set in the monitoring mode.

  • Patent number: 10474139
    Abstract: Disclosed is substrate processing apparatus including a plurality of processing units, each of which processes a substrate, and a controller that causes each of the processing units to execute a substrate processing. The controller is configured to cause a processing unit with a detected abnormality to execute an improvement processing based on abnormality detection information including a content of abnormality detected by a substrate surface measurement after causing the substrate processing to be performed in each of the processing units. The improvement processing is specified from improvement processing information in which the content of abnormality and the improvement processing are correlated with each other.
