Abstract

An apparatus for transferring a substrate to a substrate processing chamber. The apparatus comprises: a substrate transfer chamber having a floor and a side wall; a substrate transfer module comprising a holder and second magnets, and configured to be movable in the substrate transfer chamber by magnetic levitation; and a controller configured to control an operating force for moving the substrate transfer module. The controller comprises: a parameter storage configured to store at least one model parameter; a control schedule creating section configured to acquire identification information and a movement schedule, to obtain the operating force, and to output a control schedule; and a magnetic force adjusting section configured to perform feedforward control.
