To provide substrate treatment equipment which improves an operating ratio with reduced working manday, and to provide a method for substrate treatment using this.
Long arms 91a and 91b are provided with suction pads 95a to 95j, which are connected with pipings 138a to 138j respectively through connection pipes 139a to 139j. The pipings 138a to 138j are connected with vacuum pumps 136a to 136j. The connection pipes 139a to 139j are provided with pressure sensors 131a to 131j for individually measuring the suction pressure of the suction pads 95a to 95j. Furthermore, the connection pipes 139a to 139j are provided with pressure control valves 135a to 135j for individually adjusting the suction pressure of the suction pads 95a to 95j. Thus, the substrate G can be sucked with vacuum independently by each suction pad.
