Abstract:
A heat treatment method for a semiconductor wafer includes: heat treatment in a heat treatment furnace of single wafer processing type having a susceptor capable of mounting a semiconductor wafer, the heat treatment being performed on a semiconductor wafer mounted on the susceptor disposed in the heat treatment furnace; and pre-heating to hold the temperature in the heat treatment furnace at a prescribed temperature lower than the temperature of the heat treatment for a prescribed period before the heat treatment, holding the semiconductor wafer separated from the susceptor during the pre-heating. This heat treatment method for a semiconductor wafer makes it possible to reduce the slip of a semiconductor wafer without largely lowering the productivity even in a high-temperature heat treatment.

Claim (Index 8):
The heat treatment method for a semiconductor wafer according to  claim 7 , wherein the heat treatment furnace has a lift pin configured to move the semiconductor wafer upwardly and downwardly with respect to the susceptor, and the semiconductor wafer is separated from the susceptor by being supported by the lift pin.
