Zusammenfassung:A transfer chamber, a substrate processing apparatus, and a method of detecting a defect of a substrate are provided to optically detect a defect on a substrate by placing optical sensors near an opening through which the substrate is loaded and unloaded. A transfer chamber(20) is located in proximity to a process chamber for processing a rectangular substrate(S) and includes a transfer device for transferring the substrate to the process chamber. The transfer chamber further includes an opening(22d) through which the substrate transferred by the transfer device is loaded and unloaded, and a pair of optical sensors(70) arranged near the opening at an interval narrower than the width of the substrate.
