Abstract

The present invention provides a wafer support tool for heat treatment easy in working and capable of realizing reduction in cost without generating damages or slip dislocations that would be otherwise caused by high temperature heat treatment and a heat treatment apparatus. The present invention is directed to a wafer support tool for heat treatment comprising: a plurality of wafer support members for supporting a wafer to be heat treated; and a support member holder for holding the wafer support members, wherein the wafer support members each has a contact portion with the wafer, at least one of the contact portions being movable relative to the support member holder.
