A heating and cooling apparatus with which batch processing is possible and throughput can be increased, and furthermore which is more compact and uses less energy. A substrate heating chamber and a substrate cooling chamber each capable of simultaneously holding a plurality of substrates are provided in a thermally separated state in a heating and cooling apparatus with a single vacuum processing chamber. The substrate heating chamber is equipped with a plurality of communicating or non-communicating substrate holding spaces. The substrate cooling chamber is also equipped with a plurality of communicating or non-communicating substrate holding spaces. The communicating substrate holding spaces allow the batch heat treatment of substrates, while the non-communicating substrate holding spaces allow the batch or individual processing of substrates.
