Abstract

A substrate processing apparatus comprises a hot-wall type processing chamber for processing a substrate, a heater capable of heating an interior of the processing chamber, a substrate holder capable of holding the substrate and processing the substrate in the processing chamber in a state where the substrate holder holds the substrate, and a mechanism, which is capable of allowing the substrate holder to hold the substrate and then transferring the substrate holder holding the substrate into the processing chamber, and/or which is capable of carrying out the substrate holder from the processing chamber in a state where the substrate holder holds the substrate, and then separating the substrate from the substrate holder.
