Abstract

PURPOSE:To simply and effectively remove the internal stress generated in a thin film after it is formed, by forming a thin film on a semiconductor wafer which is previously bent in the direction in which the internal stress is canceled. CONSTITUTION:A wafer 3 is supported on a side surface of a wafer jig 4 by means of a wafer holder 8. The wafer jig 4 has a screw 9 screwed therein for bending the wafer 3 previously to the formation of a thin film. The screw 9 is adapted to press the wafer 3 from the rear surface side thereof thereby to apply a very small amount of bend to the wafer 3, previously to the formation of a thin film, in the direction for canceling the stress generated inside a thin film 10 after it is formed. After the thin film 10 is formed on the wafer 3 previously bent by employing a thin film forming device, the pressing force applied by the screw 9 is removed and the wafer 3 is removed from the wafer jig 4. Thus, it is possible to reduce the stress generated inside the thin film 10.
