Abstract:
A liquid processing apparatus includes multiple stages on each of which a substrate is to be placed; multiple nozzles shared by the multiple stages, and each for supplying a processing liquid to the substrate; a camera shared by the multiple nozzles, and for monitoring states of the multiple nozzles; and an imaging condition changing program module for causing circuitry to change an imaging condition of the camera according to a monitoring condition.
Abstract:
Disclosed is monitoring device of monitoring a state of a substrate processing process in a substrate processing apparatus. The monitoring device includes: an imaging unit configured to image a processing state of the substrate processing process; a storage unit; a storage control unit configured to store a moving picture imaged by the imaging unit after adding a time stamp to the moving picture; a group classification unit configured to group a plurality of moving pictures stored in the storage unit into moving pictures of a normal group and moving pictures of a group other than the normal group; and a threshold generation unit configured to generate a threshold for detecting an abnormal moving picture based on the moving pictures of the normal group grouped by the group classification unit.
