Original Abstract Submitted

A substrate processing method includes classifying a kind of substrate treatment process in which a focus ring is used, classifying a plurality of focus rings, selecting from the classified plurality of focus rings a specific focus ring suitable for a certain substrate treatment process corresponding to the classified kind of substrate treatment process, and performing the certain substrate treatment process using the selected specific focus ring. The operation of classifying the plurality of focus rings includes classifying the plurality of focus rings into two or more grades.
