Abstract

A substrate can be appropriately accommodated in a cassette. A substrate transfer device includes a substrate transfer unit that delivers the substrate with respect to the cassette configured to accommodate the substrate; a detection unit that detects the substrate accommodated in the cassette; and a control device than controls the substrate transfer unit. Further, the control device includes a transfer control unit configured to control the substrate transfer unit to accommodate the substrate at a predetermined target accommodation position; a determination unit configured to determine an actual accommodation position for the substrate based on a detection result of the detection unit after the detection unit detects the substrate accommodated in the cassette; and a correction unit configured to correct a predetermined target accommodation position as an accommodation position for another substrate based on a difference between the actual accommodation position and the target accommodation position for the substrate.
