Abstract
Provided is a substrate processing apparatus which may update an accumulated film thickness of each dummy substrate when a dummy substrate carrier is reloaded. The substrate processing apparatus includes: a process chamber where a plurality of substrates including a dummy substrate are processed; a substrate receiving unit whereon a dummy substrate carrier accommodating at least the dummy substrate is placed; a memory unit configured to store a film thickness of the dummy substrate in the dummy substrate carrier when the dummy substrate carrier is unloaded from the substrate receiving unit; and a management unit configured to update the film thickness of the dummy substrate in the dummy substrate carrier based on the film thickness stored in the memory unit when the dummy substrate carrier is reloaded onto the substrate receiving unit.
