A substrate processing apparatus includes an indexer block, an
anti-reflection film processing block, a resist film processing block, a
development processing block, a resist cover film processing block, a
resist cover film removal block, and an interface block. The interface
block includes a bevel portion inspection unit. The bevel portion
inspection unit inspects a bevel portion of a substrate to determine
whether or not the bevel portion of the substrate is contaminated. The
substrate whose bevel portion is determined to be contaminated and the
substrate whose bevel portion is determined that it is not contaminated
are respectively subjected to different types of processing.
