Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a substrate processing device for processing a substrate. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, substrate processing equipment has been used for various processing of substrates such as semiconductor wafers, glass substrates for photomasks, glass substrates for liquid crystal display devices, and substrates for optical disks. [0003] For example, JP-A-2004-146708 describes a substrate processing apparatus including an inversion unit that inverts the front and back surfaces of a substrate. In such a substrate processing apparatus, a central robot (transfer unit) for transferring a substrate is disposed substantially in the center of a rectangular processing unit. [0004] In the processing section, a plurality of (for example, four) backside cleaning units for cleaning the backside of the substrate are arranged so as to surround the central robot. Furthermore, in the processing unit, a reversing unit is arranged at a ...
