Abstract
A substrate holding apparatus includes a pump, serving as a suction source, a conveying chuck for holding a wafer substrate by suction, a connection arrangement, including parallel lines intermediate the connection arrangement, for conneting the pump to the chuck, and a valve arrangement including at least one valve provided in at least one of the parallel lines. By selecting one of the parallel lines by controlling opening/closing of these valves, the conductance of the connection line is adjusted, whereby the optimum suction pressure for the chuck is set.
