Abstract

A substrate processing apparatus can align a substrate with a high precision and a high speed by monitoring a mark formed on a surface of the substrate; operating an amount of misalignment between the center of the substrate and a rotation center of a substrate support member; determining a presence of the misalignment and adjusting the substrate such that the center of the substrate coincides with the rotation center of the substrate support member.
