An apparatus is disclosed for performing high-pressure processing of a workpiece having a top face and a bottom face. The apparatus comprises a processing chamber and a holder for securing the workpiece within the processing chamber so that a substantial portion of the top face and a substantial portion of the bottom face is exposed to a processing material introduced into the processing chamber. In one embodiment, the holder comprises an upper segment and a lower segment. The lower segment contacts the workpiece at or near an edge of the workpiece, thus supporting the workpiece in a first vertical direction and securing it in a horizontal plane. The upper segment contacts the workpiece at or near an edge of the workpiece, securing it in a second vertical direction.
