Abstract

An improved semiconductor wafer transferring device lifts and drops at least two groups of semiconductor wafers at different times in each lifting or dropping cycle, in order to reduce the impact sustained by a semiconductor wafer holder such as a wafer boat in the former case and preventing the semiconductor wafer holder from being lifted in the latter case.
