A substrate processing apparatus includes a mounting stand, a cover opening and closing unit, a substrate checking unit, a substrate transfer mechanism, a substrate processing unit, and a controller. While the substrate processing unit is processing a substrate within a first substrate accommodation container mounted on the mounting stand, when a second substrate accommodation container is mounted on the mounting stand, the controller provides control to open the cover of a second substrate accommodation container and check a substrate within the second substrate accommodation container by means of the substrate checking unit, and when the substrate checking is terminated, the controller provides control to close the cover of the second substrate accommodation container. |
