ABSTRACT:
A substrate such as a semiconductor wafer is transferred to a plurality of process chambers so as to perform prescribed processes. An inspection chamber is air-tightly connected to each of the process chambers. The inspection chamber is provided with a handler which loads and unloads the substrate. A gate valve is disposed between each process chamber and the inspection chamber. By this gate valve, each chamber is air-tightly closed.
