1. A teaching method of setting a location of a robot that transports a substrate onto a rotatable support plate that supports the substrate, the teaching method comprising: loading a substrate on a support plate with a robot;rotating the support plate by a preset angle;unloading the substrate from the support plate with the robot;detecting a decentering value of the substrate positioned on a hand of the robot a plurality of times; andsetting a location of the robot using the decentering values. 2. The teaching method of claim 1, further comprising: acquiring a decentering value of the substrate on the hand before the substrate is loaded on the support plate with the robot. 3. The teaching method of claim 1, wherein the decentering values are detected by using a sensor provided in the robot. 4. The teaching method of claim 1, wherein the decentering values are detected by using a camera. 5. The teaching method of claim 1, wherein the location of the robot is set by using three acquired decentering values. 6. The teaching method of claim 5, further comprising: obtaining a central point of a circle that passes through all the three acquired decentering values,wherein the location of the robot is set such that the central point corresponds to the center of the support plate. 7. The teaching method of claim 1, wherein the preset angle is 90 degrees and the plurality of times is four times. 8. The teaching method of claim 7, wherein two sets of two decentering values of the four acquired decentering values are connected to each other, respectively, via connected lines, the connected lines cross each other to form a cross point, and the location of the robot is set such that the cross point corresponds to the center of the support plate. 9. The teaching method of claim 1, further comprising: detecting four decentering values; andconnecting two sets of two decentering values of the four acquired decentering values to each other, respectively, via connected lines,wherein the connected lines cross each other to form a cross point, and wherein the location of the robot is set such that the cross point corresponds to the center of the support plate. 10. A teaching method of setting a location of a robot that transports a substrate onto a rotatable support plate that support the substrate, the teaching method comprising: loading a substrate on a support plate with a robot;unloading the substrate from the support plate with the robot; andsetting a location of the robot, wherein setting the location of the robot includes: detecting a primary decentering value of the substrate while the substrate is situated on a hand of the robot;locating the substrate on the support plate and rotating the support plate by 90 degrees;detecting a secondary decentering value of the substrate while the substrate is unloaded from the support plate and situated on the hand of the robot;locating the substrate on the support plate and rotating the support plate by 90 degrees;detecting a tertiary decentering value of the substrate while the substrate is unloaded from the support plate and situated on the hand of the robot;locating the substrate on the support plate and rotating the support plate by 90 degrees; anddetecting a quartic decentering value of the substrate while the substrate is unloaded from the support plate and situated on the hand of the robot. 11. The teaching method of claim 10, wherein a cross point of a first line that connects the primary decentering value and the tertiary decentering value and a second line that connects the secondary decentering value and the quartic decentering value is obtained, and the location of the robot is set such that the cross point corresponds to the center of the support plate. 12. The teaching method of claim 10, wherein the primary detection step is performed on the hand before the substrate is loaded on the support plate. 13. The teaching method of claim 10, wherein the primary detection step is performed on the hand after the substrate is loaded on the support plate and then unloaded from the support plate to the hand. 14. The teaching method of claim 10, wherein the centering values are detected by using a sensor provided in the robot. 15. The teaching method of claim 10, wherein the centering values are detected by using a camera. 16. An apparatus for treating a substrate, the apparatus comprising: a rotatable support plate that supports the substrate;a robot that has a hand on which the substrate is seated and transports the substrate on the support plate;a detector that detects a decentering value of the substrate; anda controller that has a calculation unit that sets a location of the robot by using detected decentering values, and that controls rotation of the support plate and the robot,wherein the controller sets the location of the robot by using decentering values that are acquired by repeating an operation of loading the substrate on the support plate with the robot, rotating the support plate by a preset angle, unloading the substrate from the support plate with the robot, and detecting a decentering value of the substrate positioned on a hand of the robot a plurality of times. 17. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the detector is a sensor provided in the robot. 18. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the detector is a camera. 19. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the controller controls the support and the robot such that the detector acquires three decentering values. 20. The apparatus of claim 19, wherein the calculation unit obtains the center of a circle that passes all the three detected decentering values, and the controller sets the location of the robot such that the center of the support plate corresponds to the center of the circle. 21. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the controller controls rotation of the support plate and the robot such that the detector acquires four decentering values while taking the preset angle as 90 degrees. 22. The apparatus of claim 21, wherein the calculation unit connects two sets of two decentering values of the four acquired decentering values to each other, respectively, via connected lines to form a cross point, and sets the location of the robot such that the cross point corresponds to the center of the support plate. 23. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the controller controls rotation of the support plate and the robot such that the detector acquires four decentering values, and the calculation unit connects two pairs of two decentering values of the acquired four decentering values, respectively, via connected lines to form a cross point, and sets the location of the robot such that the cross point corresponds to the center of the support plate. 24.
