ABSTRACT:
A transfer device an ultrasonic sensor having an oscillating section for oscillating an ultrasonic beam toward wafers which are horizontally arranged in a carrier and a receiving section for receiving a reflected ultrasonic wave, and driving mechanism for vertically moving the ultrasonic sensor relative to the carrier so as to sequentially radiate an ultrasonic beam to the end faces of the wafers. The presence/absence of a wafer and projection of the wafer in and from the carrier are detected based on the reflected wave received by the receiving section.
