1. A substrate treating apparatus having heat-treating modules for heat-treating substrates, chemical treating modules for chemically treating the substrates, and substrate transport mechanisms for transferring the substrates to and from a treating unit including the heat-treating modules and the chemical treating modules, wherein:
said heat-treating modules include cooling modules for cooling the substrates, and heating modules for heating the substrates;
said cooling modules and said heating modules are thermally divided from each other;
said heating modules and said chemical treating modules form treating blocks opposed to each other across a substrate transport path formed along the treating units; and
said cooling modules serve to transfer the substrates between said treating blocks.
