Abstract

A wafer transfer method using a robot arm for sucking the front-side of the uppermost one of a plurality of wafers stored in a cassette, and for transferring the wafer having a tape adhered to the front-side thereof to a semiconductor tape-peeling device for tape-peeling. Although the wafer warps, the undesired effect that the robot arm crashes any of the wafers can be avoided by using this method.
