Abstract
【解決手段】ウエハWを搬送する搬送アーム50と、搬送アームによって搬送されたウエハを搬送アームから受け取るスピンチャック60と、を具備する基板搬送装置において、搬送アームに設けられ、スピンチャックの載置部60aを検出する載置部検出手段59と、搬送アームを昇降及び水平方向に移動する移動手段55と、載置部検出手段からの検出信号に基づいて移動手段を制御するコントローラ70と、を具備する。搬送アームによって搬送されるウエハをスピンチャックに受け渡す際、載置部検出手段がスピンチャックの載置部を検出した後、コントローラからの制御信号に基づいて移動手段を駆動して搬送アームを斜め方向に下降して、ウエハをスピンチャック上に載置する。
