Abstract: In a substrate processing apparatus, when a hand located above a substrate holder holds a substrate jig having a lower surface provided with three photosensors that are arranged nonlinearly, a substrate rotation mechanism rotates the substrate holder to form a circular rotation trajectory of a mark provided in advance on the substrate holder. A teaching unit calculates the position of the hand relative to the substrate holder in plan view in accordance with the position of the hand relative to the rotation trajectory obtained from each of the three photosensors and generates horizontal teaching information that indicates an adequate relationship between the relative positions of the hand and the substrate holder in plan view. This simplifies processing for generating teaching information.

Abstract: A processing condition selection method includes a step (S21) and a step (S22). In the step (S21), a thickness pattern TM that represents a distribution of thicknesses measured at respective measurement points on a target is compared to pre-stored reference patterns (RP) to specify a reference pattern (RP) having a high correlation with the thickness pattern (TM) from among the reference patterns (RP) based on a prescriptive rule. In the step (S22), a reference processing condition associated with the specified reference pattern (RP) is acquired as a processing condition for the target from among reference processing conditions associated with the respective reference patterns (RP). The reference patterns (RP) each represent a distribution of physical quantities of a corresponding one of reference targets.

Additionally, a downstream-side flow path downstream of the housing portion has a base end connected to a downstream-side area through which flows the fluid that has already passed through the resistor. Moreover, the second pressure sensor is connected to the downstream-side area or to a vicinity of the base end.
