Patent number: 11094569Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes a cassette placing section, a processing unit, a transfer area, and an image capturing unit. On the cassette placing section, a cassette accommodating a plurality of substrates is placed. The processing unit washes or etches a peripheral portion of each substrate taken out from the cassette. The transfer area is interposed between the cassette placing section and the processing unit, and the substrate is transferred therein. The image capturing unit is disposed in the transfer area to capture an image of the substrate processed by the processing unit. The image includes both of (i) a peripheral portion of an upper surface or a lower surface of the substrate and (ii) an end face of the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2018Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: TOKYO ELECTRON LIMITEDInventor: Yoshitomo Sato
