Abstract:
A wafer planarization apparatus, comprising:a body; a table which sucks and holds a first surface of a wafer; a sucking and carrying device including a sucking board which sucks and holds the wafer and carries the wafer to the table; and a working division which works on a second surface of the wafer of which the first surface is sucked and held with the table, wherein: the table is placed to be vertically mobile on the body; the wafer before planarization sucked and held with the sucking board is vacuum-attracted when positioned above the table, the table being moved upward by that attraction power in a direction to suck the wafer so as to vacuum-suck the wafer; and when the wafer is vacuum-sucked with the table, the sucking and carrying device releases the sucking and holding of the wafer with the sucking board.
