Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a substrate holder which can clamp a concave substrate more securely. SOLUTION: A substrate holder 10 has burls 12 having a height of 100 μm or less and at least 10 vacuum ports arranged within a central region extending to a radius of two thirds the radius of the substrate. Thus, a concave wafer W' can be securely clamped by generating an initial vacuum in the central region which exerts a clamping force tending to flatten the wafer and allowing the initial vacuum to deepen so that the wafer is fully clamped.
