Abstract

The present invention relates to a substrate transfer method for controlling a substrate transfer robot by using information on a position of a substrate when loading or unloading the substrate in a substrate transfer apparatus including the substrate transfer robot, and a substrate transfer apparatus. According to the present invention, when an operation of setting a new reference value is required due to a process variation or a hardware variation after an initial reference value for loading or unloading a substrate is set, the reference value is automatically set, so that the substrate is allowed to be transferred to be positioned at the center of a susceptor without manually changing the reference value of the substrate transfer robot.
