  • Patent number: 10748805
    Abstract: A substrate is arranged above a base body such that the substrate comes into contact with an upper end of a support member. Subsequently, vacuum suction is performed on an internal space of the support member through an auxiliary vacuum suction path so that the upper end of the support member is displaced to a height position equal to the height positions of upper ends of multiple protruding portions. Then, vacuum suction is performed, through a vacuum suction path, on a space of which the top and the bottom are defined by the base body and the substrate so that the substrate is brought into contact with the upper ends of the multiple protruding portions.
