Ce dispositif de traitement de substrat (200) qui assure le traitement d'un substrat (10), est équipé : d'une chambre d'entrée de substrat (61), d'une première zone pour robot de transport (63), d'une première chambre de traitement de substrat (51), d'une zone étagère de stockage (64), d'une seconde zone pour robot de transport (65), et d'une seconde chambre de traitement de substrat (52). Une protection d'entrée de bras (30) qui ferme une partie ouverture (21B) située côté seconde zone pour robot de transport (65), est disposée sur une étagère de stockage provisoire (100) qui est disposée dans la zone étagère de stockage (64). De plus, un interrupteur d'arrêt (40) qui arrête l'activité d'un second robot de transport (70B) dans un état de fermeture de la partie ouverture (21B) au moyen de la protection d'entrée de bras (30), est agencé dans l'étagère de stockage provisoire (100).
