Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a carrier device, a semiconductor apparatus, and a residual charge detection method. The disclosed carrier device is configured to carry a wafer in a semiconductor apparatus. The carrier device includes an electrostatic carrier plate and at least three positioning members, wherein the electrostatic carrier plate includes a carrying surface configured to carry the wafer; the at least three positioning members are arranged around the carrying surface at intervals along a circumferential direction of the carrying surface, each positioning member is provided with a position limiting segment, and the at least three position limiting segments form a position limiting space above the carrying surface. An opening size of the position limiting space increases along a direction away from the carrying surface. The above-mentioned solution can solve the problem that a position deviation of the wafer is relatively large due to incomplete charge removal of the wafer.
