Abstract

A wafer clamp according to the present invention always firmly clamps a wafer. A supporting arm of the wafer clamp will be replaced with a different one according to the wafer size. Moreover, with a larger area of the supporting arm, a wear resistance and a smoothness of the wafer is improved. Besides, the wafer clamp stops the wafer from slipping. Hence, the present invention has a simple structure, a good practicality and a wide application.
