Abstract
A wafer transforming device defines an airtight space by means of a base, a hollow case, and a diaphragm type chuck which is fixed to the upper end of the case by suction. In this space, a large number of vertically moving elements are arranged at predetermined intervals. In the state in which a wafer is held by suction by means of the chuck and in which the chuck is held in contact with the upper ends of the vertically moving elements by supplying a vacuum pressure into the space, the vertically moving elements located within a required range are selectively actuated. Thus, the chuck is pushed up, and the wafer held on the chuck by the suction is transformed into a desired state.
