ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a coating and developing apparatus1whose decreases in substrate-conveying accuracy can be suppressed. A processing block S2of the coating and developing apparatus1includes multiple resist-film forming blocks G2, G3, and a developing block G1. A conveyance element12for substrate loading into the processing block S2is provided to convey substrates W from a carrier C to the resist-film forming blocks G2, G3. Also, a conveyance element I for substrate loading into an exposure apparatus S4is provided in an interface block S3to load the substrates W into the exposure apparatus S4and after unloading the substrates W from the exposure apparatus S4, convey the substrates W to the developing block G1. The processing block loading conveyance element12conveys the substrates W, one at a time, from the carrier C to each resist-film forming block G2, G3, sequentially and periodically, and the exposure apparatus loading conveyance element I loads the substrates W from each resist-film forming block G2, G3into the exposure apparatus S4in the sequence that each has been conveyed to the resist-film forming block G2, G3by the processing block loading conveyance element12.
