Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a holding device and a holding method, and more particularly to a holding device for holding a plate-shaped member such as a semiconductor wafer or a wafer in a non-contact state. And keep the method. [Prior Art] Conventionally, a semiconductor wafer (hereinafter, simply referred to as "wafer") has a protective sheet adhered to its circuit surface side, and is used to hold the wafer when it is transferred between various processing projects. The handling device of the device. The holding device is generally configured to have an adsorption hole that is in contact with the wafer surface and that adsorbs and holds the wafer. Further, for example, as described in Patent Document 1, it is proposed to form a negative pressure region between the plate member and the flow of the gas ejected from the holding surface, and to maintain it as a non-contact type using Bernoulli's effect. Wafer holding device. [Patent Document 1] Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei. No. 2006- 1 56692. However, in the contact type holding device, if there is deformation such as bending on the wafer, or as shown in Fig. 5(A) When the wafer is diced by cutting first, and the protective sheet is deformed in a wave shape, it is difficult to sufficiently attach the adsorption, which may cause inconvenience in adsorption failure. In other words, in order to prevent the air bubbles from being mixed between the wafers and the wafers, it is necessary to adhere the protective sheets to a certain tension. Therefore, there is an inherent problem that the wafer is likely to be bent by the reaction of the tension at the time of pasting. These problems are more pronounced especially by wafers that are extremely thinned by backside dicing, or by cutting as many wafers are formed. Further, even in the case of the non-contact type holding device described in Patent Document 1, in the case of the above-described bending deformation or the like, it is difficult to ensure that a sufficient negative pressure state is maintained while holding the wafer, thereby having a wafer. It is inconvenient to keep it difficult. Further, the holding device of the same document 1 has an extremely complicated structure and a high manufacturing cost of the device. The present invention has been made in view of such inconvenience, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a plate-like member that can be reliably held in a state of being non-connected even when a plate-like member such as a wafer is bent or the like. A simple holding device and a holding method that are inexpensively manufactured. In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a holding device comprising: a holding body provided with a holding surface with respect to the plate-shaped member; and a gas supply means for ejecting gas from the holding surface, and controlling the flow direction of the gas, A holding device that forms a negative pressure region between the holding surface and the plate member and holds the plate member in an approximately non-contact state is characterized in that the gas supply means is configured to supply a heated or cooled gas. In the present invention, the temperature of the above gas is set to be adjustable. Further, the gas may be an inert gas. Further, the above-described holding body is configured to be supported by the transport arm, and the plate-shaped member held by the holding surface of the above-mentioned holding body is provided to be transportable between the platforms. Further, it is preferable to have a configuration in which an exhaust portion that exhausts gas ejected from the holding surface toward the upper side in the holding surface is provided. Further, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which a stopper that moves along the surface direction of the plate-like member is provided on the holding surface. Further, the present invention is a holding method for holding the plate-like member in an approximately non-contact state with respect to a holding surface of a plate-like member, characterized in that: a gas heated or cooled is ejected from the holding surface, Further, a method of controlling the flow direction of the gas to form a negative pressure region between the holding surface and the plate member and holding the plate member is controlled. In the above holding method, a method of locally contacting the plate-like member to the holding surface to regulate the movement along the surface direction of the plate-like member is preferable. In addition, in the present specification, the "tk-shaped member" includes a semiconductor wafer which is formed into a sheet, and is also used as a glass, a steel plate, a resin plate or the like which also includes a sheet, and other plate-like members are also cherished. . According to the present invention, the gas supply means for ejecting the gas from the holding surface is a structure in which the supply is heated or cooled, so that even if the plate member is deformed by bending or the like, deformation of the sheet due to heat or cooling is caused. In the state where the bending or the like is corrected, the planarization is performed, and the negative pressure region is surely formed to maintain the plate-like member. Further, by changing the temperature of the gas, the temperature of the plate-like member, the degree of bending, the thickness of the plate, and the like can be adjusted to a temperature, and the property of the plate member can be maintained without changing the properties of the plate member. It should be a plate member. Further, by providing the configuration of the exhaust portion, it is possible to smoothly discharge the gas ejected from the holding surface, and a sufficient negative pressure state can be formed. Further, in the configuration in which the stopper is provided, the positional accuracy after the transfer of the previously aligned plate-like member can be satisfactorily maintained.

The gas that has passed through the discharge hole 25 is a flow along the inclined surface of the push-out hole portion 25B by the flow regulating body 27. Then, the flow is caused to flow in the radial direction from the outer peripheral side of the holding surface 15A to the holding surface 15A, and to flow upward from the tubular portion 23 in the surface of the holding surface 15A. The flow of the gas is to make a negative pressure in the concave region formed by the push-out hole portion 25B, and by the negative pressure, the wafer W is sucked, and the effect of the Bernoulli is made. The contact state maintains the force of the wafer W. As described above, when the holder 13 is close to the wafer W, the corrugated wafer W is deformed by the influence of the protective sheet S, and is deformed by the heated gas. That is, the wafer W and the protective sheet S are in a state of being approximately flat as compared with the protective sheet S by the influence of the heated gas [refer to Fig. 5(B)]. After that, when the holding body 13 reaches a predetermined position, the wafer W supported by the protective sheet S is sucked and held by the Bernoulli effect, and can be transported by -10-200834806 [Refer to Fig. 5(C) ]. As described above, in a state where the wafer W is held by the holding surface 15, the outer portion of the wafer W is brought into contact with the stopper 26. This contact is to regulate the movement or offset of the protective sheet S in the plane direction, and as a result, the movement of the wafer W in the plane direction is regulated. Therefore, in this state, the conveyance device 1 is passed. The wafer W is moved to the second stage 43 side, and by stopping the above-described gas supply, the wafer W is conveyed on the second stage 43 while being positioned. Therefore, according to this embodiment, the gas supplied from the gas supply means 14 is heated, so that the bending-deformed protective sheet S can be corrected to be flat, and the snubber effect is ensured by the Bernoulli effect. The effect of reliably holding the wafer W can be obtained under a sufficient negative pressure state. As described above, the best configuration, method, and the like for carrying out the invention. The above description is disclosed, but the present invention is not limited thereto. That is, the present invention is mainly directed to a specific embodiment, and is particularly illustrated and described, but without departing from the technical spirit and scope of the present invention, with respect to the above-described embodiments, regarding the shape, position, or Configuration, etc., as needed, familiar with the person can make various changes. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the discharge hole 25 for ejecting gas supplies the gas to the hose 3 3 in the cavity C, and the number of the tubular portion 23 passing through the gas in the upper surface of the holder 13 is not It is limited to those of the illustrated configuration, and may be increased or decreased as needed. At this time, the negative pressure for holding the plate-like member is sucked, and the holding surface 15A is disposed so as to easily generate an excellent balance. -11 - 200834806 Further, when the cooler can correct the deformation by the type of the protective sheet S, It is also possible to cool the gas to be ejected by the temperature regulator 32. In addition, the protective sheet S is an ultraviolet-curable adhesive sheet, and an ultraviolet irradiation device is provided between the first stage 42 and the second stage 43 to form a configuration in which the adhesion force is reduced in the front stage of the second stage. Then, the gas to be ejected can be made into an inert gas such as nitrogen. At this time, in the stage of irradiating the ultraviolet ray, the hardening due to the oxygen of the adhesive of the dicing line is prevented, and it can be placed on the second stage, so that the pickup of the wafer W in the next process can be avoided. When the adhesive is not hardened, the pickup is poor. Further, the inert gas is not limited to the nitrogen gas, but may be other inert gas such as argon gas or carbon dioxide gas. Further, the stopper 26 may be configured to be in contact with the outer circumference of the wafer W.
