A substrate processing apparatus includes a vacuum chamber, a rotary table in the vacuum chamber, a stage, and a support that supports at least either the rotary table or stage, the support having a thermal expansion coefficient greater than the rotary table or stage that is supported. The rotary table or stage includes a protruding portion protruding toward the support. The support includes a base portion, an insertion portion protruding from a center of the base portion and being inserted into the protruding portion, and an outer edge protruding portion protruding from the base portion. An outer clearance formed between the outer edge protruding portion and the protruding portion is set to be smaller than an inner clearance formed between the insertion portion and the protruding portion at a first temperature, and the outer clearance becomes greater than the inner clearance at a second temperature higher than the first temperature.
