ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a vacuum stage device that moves a substrate to be processed in a vacuum environment. In a substrate transfer device in accordance with the present invention, a wafer mounted to a wafer platen is moved in a vacuum processing chamber. This substrate transfer device includes a first driving mechanism for moving the wafer platen in a Y1direction, and a second driving mechanism that is provided in the vacuum processing chamber and linearly reciprocates the wafer platen in X1and X2directions at a high speed.
