Zusammenfassung:A workpiece holding method for a workpiece having a bowl-shaped warp includes a mounting step of mounting the workpiece on a holding unit having a holding surface, a suction hole opening to the holding surface, and a suction passage for making selective communication between the suction hole and a vacuum source for producing a suction force, the workpiece being mounted on the holding surface of the holding unit, a liquid supplying step of supplying a liquid to the workpiece held on the holding surface so that the liquid flows into a gap defined between the holding surface and the workpiece to fill the gap, and a suction step of bringing the suction hole into communication with the vacuum source to suck the liquid and the workpiece and thereby hold the workpiece through the liquid on the holding surface under suction, after performing the liquid supplying step.
