In a substrate processing system having a gas processing apparatus, a measuring apparatus and a transfer apparatus, the measuring apparatus for performing a measurement on a substrate includes a mounting unit, an optical measuring unit and a measuring space. A substrate transfer port for transferring the substrate to the mounting unit is opened in the measuring space; and, by a wall defining the measuring space, the measuring space and a space where the optical measuring unit is accommodated are airtightly isolated from each other. Further, in the measuring space, there is provided an air supply port for supplying a clean air towards the substrate transfer port when the substrate is loaded into the measuring space to be measured therein. Therefore, the processing gas introduced from the substrate transfer port into the measuring space is diluted or sent back, to thereby, suppress contamination in the measuring space.
