    摘要: A processing apparatus comprises a plurality of process unit groups each including a plurality of process units for subjecting an object to a series of processes, the process units being arranged vertically in multiple stages, an object transfer space being defined among the process unit groups, and a transfer mechanism for transferring the object, the transfer mechanism having a transfer member vertically movable in the object transfer space, the transfer member being capable of transferring the object to each of the process units. The processing apparatus further comprises a mechanism for forming a downward air flow in the object transfer space, a mechanism for controlling the quantity of the downward air flow, and a mechanism for controlling the pressure in the object transfer space. Thus, a variation in condition of the object transfer space is reduced.
