Abstract

To provide a single wafer transfer tray which hardly generates dust and has a spacer having excellent stiffness. A spacer 25 is formed of a core block 40 and a pair of upper and lower stack members 50, 60 mounted to upper and lower sides of the core block 40. The upper and lower stack members 50, 60 are formed of abrasion resistive materials, and the core block 40 is formed of a material having strength higher than those of the stack members 50, 60. Since the core block 40 is formed of the material having strength higher than those of the stack members 50, 60, the stiffness of the spacer 25 itself can be made sufficiently high, whereby the deformation of the spacers 25 in the stacked state or a damage involved by the deformation can be effectively prevented. Since the stack members 50, 60 mounted to the upper and lower sides of the core block 40 are formed of the abrasion resistive materials, the generation of dust caused by mutual contact between the spacers 25 in the stacked state can be suppressed and the contamination of a workpiece 4 can be avoided.
