FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a schematic configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 10 is a flat susceptor. The surface of the susceptor 100 serves as a trap for placing a wafer 1 on it. This surface area is provided with a plurality of pairs of grooves 12, which are bored in parallel and have a width narrower than the diameter of the wafer 11. A wire 13 serving as wafer support means is provided so as to be able to freely move in and out of this groove 12 . That is, one end of the wire 13 is attached to the upper edge of the side wall of the support base 14 provided at the lower part of the support base 14 to accommodate the susceptor 10.
It is fixed with bolt 15. The other end of the wire 13 is attached to the support base 14 via a grooved bearing 16 provided on the side wall opposite to the above-mentioned side wall and a rear spring 17. The support stand 14 is supported so as to be movable up and down by an air cylinder 18 provided at the center of the rear surface thereof, and pillars 19 provided at both ends so as to penetrate through the floor of the support stand 14. That is, the support stand 14 moves up and down by the drive of the air cylinder 18, and both ends support it. Note that the support column 19Vc protruding from the floor of the support stand 140 has an upper limit! - A lower limit stopper 22 is attached to the support 19 on the back side of the h4 floor where the IQ and linear motor bearings 21 are attached.

In this state, the wafer 11 is temporarily placed on the wire 13 using tweezers or the like. Then the second
As shown in FIG. 1, the wafer 11 is placed on the susceptor 10 by lowering the support base 14 and inserting the wire 13 into the groove 12. When removing the processed wafer 11 from above the susceptor 10, conversely, place the wafer 11 on the wire 13.
The wafer 11 and the wires 13 are temporarily removed from the susceptor 10 by raising the support stand 14 with the wafer 11 placed thereon. Next, as shown in FIG. 2(4), the wafer 11 on the wire 13 is recovered using vacuum tweezers or the like to complete the removal operation.

The influence of shock can be suppressed to a sufficiently small level. As a result, Heaton...
It is possible to prevent cracks or cracks from occurring in the wafer 11 due to this. Further, since the means such as pachyme tweezers do not directly contact the surface of the susceptor 100, it is possible to prevent the susceptor 10 from being damaged. As a result, it is possible to prevent the wafer 11 from being contaminated by dust k generated by such scratches and the like.

In addition, the means for attaching and detaching the wafer 11 to and from the susceptor 10 is not limited to the wire 13, but a plurality of protrusions capable of supporting the wafer 11 are provided on the mounting part of the susceptor 10 so as to be able to rise and fall. It may be performed by raising and lowering the protrusion.
