Abstract

A wafer carrier for carrying a wafer includes a transparent base and a conducting layer. The transparent base has dimensions similar to that of the wafer, and bonds the wafer with a bonding layer. The conducting layer is transparent, and can be attracted by an electrostatic chuck so that the electrostatic chuck can deliver the wafer.
