Abstract

See full text

Transferring apparatus control means movement of a transferring apparatus for transferring a wafer to a resist liquid coating unit from a cooling process unit. A storage section of the transferring apparatus controller stores a coating time required for a resist film coating and a moving time required for the transfer of the wafer. When a coating start time of a resist film is inputted, the control section calculates a coating end time from the stored coating time. Further, the control section calculates time of taking out a wafer W, which is next subjected to a coating process from the cooling process unit, from the coating end time and the stored moving time. Based on the calculated time, the transferring apparatus controller instructs the transferring apparatus about timing to take out the wafer. This makes it possible to improve the throughput.
