  • Patent number: 10132757
    Abstract: Image data pertaining to substrate transfer is efficiently collected and stored for use in analyzing transfer errors. A substrate processing device includes a first control part for stopping a transfer part upon detecting a transfer error in the transfer part for transferring a substrate; a storage part for storing substrate transfer operations of the transfer part as image data; and a second control part for accumulating the image data in an accumulation part at a predetermined period. The first control part obtains information indicating a state of the substrate from the transfer part or a processing part, and notifies the second control part that the transfer part is stopped due to the transfer error. The second control part retrieves image data of a predetermined period of time including the time that the transfer error occurs from the accumulation part, and converts the image data into a file.
