Abstract

A coating and developing apparatus includes: a processing block having a plurality of substrate transport areas vertically stacked and partitioned from each other; a processing module provided in each of the plurality of substrate transport areas; a transport mechanism configured to transport a substrate between the transport block and the processing module; a temperature adjustment module configured to adjust a temperature of the substrate before the substrate is transported to at least one processing module among the plurality of the processing modules; a temperature sensor configured to detect an atmospheric temperature of at least one substrate transport area; and a temperature controller configured to change the temperature of the substrate in the temperature adjustment module based on the atmospheric temperature detected by the temperature sensor.
