Abstract

See full text

In a substrate processing apparatus, a chamber bottom has a plurality of large chamber exhaust ports arranged in a circumferential direction. A cup rotation mechanism rotates a cup part so that a cup exhaust port selectively overlaps with one of the large chamber exhaust ports. With the cup exhaust port overlapping with one large chamber exhaust port, the gas in the cup part is discharged to the outside of the chamber via a first exhaust mechanism. With the cup exhaust port overlapping with another large chamber exhaust port, the gas in cup part is discharged to the outside of the chamber via a second exhaust mechanism. By rotating the cup part in the chamber via the cup rotation mechanism, the substrate processing apparatus can easily switch the exhaust mechanism for exhausting gas from the cup part.
