Abstract

A substrate processing apparatus includes: a process chamber having an object to be heated therein and configured to process a plurality of substrates; a substrate holder configured to hold the substrates with an interval therebetween in a vertical direction in the process chamber; a first heat exchange unit supporting the substrate holder from a lower side thereof in the process chamber and configured to perform a heat exchange with a gas in the process chamber; a second heat exchange unit provided in the process chamber, the second heat exchange unit being horizontally spaced apart from the first heat exchange unit with a gap therebetween and being configured to perform a heat exchange with the gas in the process chamber; and an induction heating unit configured to subject the object to be heated to an induction heating from an outer side of the object to be heated.
