Zusammenfassung:	A substrate processing apparatus for performing a resist coating process and a development process includes an inspection block for making an inspection on a substrate having undergone the development process. The inspection block has an inspection unit for making a predetermined inspection and a transport robot for transferring a substrate to and from the inspection unit. When a substrate to be inspected is transported to the inspection block, the transport robot transports the substrate to the inspection unit. When a substrate not to be inspected is transported to the inspection block, the transport robot transports the substrate directly to the outlet of the inspection block. At this time, a substrate not to be inspected is allowed to pass a preceding substrate to be inspected, at the inspection block. Thus provided is a substrate processing apparatus capable of improving the transport efficiency, to thereby achieve a higher throughput.
