In the present invention, a plurality of first units capable of
accommodating the substrate and a second unit are provided, in which a
substrate is carried between the first unit and the second unit. The
first units and the second unit are arranged side by side in a plan view,
and at least one of the plurality of the first units is a processing unit
for performing processing for the substrate. The plurality of first units
are arranged in a line in the horizontal direction, and at least two
first units adjacent to each other in the horizontal direction of the
plurality of first units are movable in the horizontal direction to be
able to transfer the substrate to/from the second unit. According to the
present invention, the substrate processing system including a plurality
of units flexibly deals with various substrate processing recipes and
reduces the processing time difference among substrates and the carriage
waiting time of the substrate.
