Abstract: An exclusive carrier (EQMC) housing therein equipment testing wafers (EQMW) is housed in a carrier housing rack (32) of a treatment equipment. An equipment testing parameter setting section (62) is provided for setting a cycle, in which the equipment testing wafers (EQMW) are carried in a heat treating furnace (21), and the number and holding position of the equipment testing wafers on a wafer boat (23). The equipment testing wafers (EQMW) are held in dummy wafer holding regions (D) at the upper and lower end portions of the wafer boat (23) to be heat-treated in the set cycle. After the heat treatments of all the equipment testing wafers (EQMW) in the equipment testing carrier (EQMC) are completed, the wafers (EQMW) are transferred to a detecting device, and the state of the treatment equipment is grasped on the basis of the treated state.
