To provide a heat treatment apparatus for heating and drying a coating film on a substrate while suppressing film thickness irregularity.
The heat treatment apparatus 1 includes a levitation transfer path 2 for floating a substrate W, and a transfer device 3 for transferring the substrate W, floating on the levitation transfer path 2, in a specific direction. The levitation transfer path 2 performs heat treatment of the substrate W while floating the substrate W, and the transfer device 3 transfers the substrate W on the levitation transfer path 2. The levitation transfer path 2 has a gas floating region 4 for floating the substrate W by a gas jetted, and a supersonic vibration floating region 5 for floating the substrate W by supersonic vibration. The transfer device 3 transfers the substrates W sequentially to the gas floating region 4 and the supersonic vibration floating region 5 arranged in a specific direction. The surfaces of the gas floating region 4 and the supersonic vibration floating region 5 facing the substrate W are larger than the substrate W, and the substrate W is carried into the gas floating region 4 at first.
