  • Publication number: 20240194497
    Abstract: In a substrate processing apparatus (1), above a plurality of processing parts (31) arrayed in an up-and-down direction, arranged are a plurality of collecting pipes (61a to 61c). The plurality of collecting pipes (61a to 61c) correspond to a plurality of fluid classifications, respectively. Further, provided are a plurality of exhaust pipes (4) extending upward from the plurality of processing parts (31), into which exhaust gases from the processing parts (31) flow, respectively. At an upper end portion of each of the exhaust pipes (4), provided is a flow path switching part (5) which connects the upper end portion to the plurality of collecting pipes (61a to 61c) and switches a flow path of the exhaust gas flowing in the exhaust pipe (4) among the plurality of collecting pipes (61a to 61c). In the substrate processing apparatus (1), it is possible to reduce a pressure loss in the exhaust pipe (4) and reduce a footprint.
