A wafer holder is provided which includes a holder body with a chuck table having a ring-like wafer receptacle, and a plurality of fixing portions fixing a wafer on the wafer receptacle to hold the wafer, and a carrier supporting the wafer before fixed on the wafer receptacle from downward. The holder body includes a carrier support portion which forms a support face to support the carrier and be changeable in height from an original position, and positions the support face on which the wafer is placed at a delivery position. The carrier support portion separates the wafer from the carrier by lowering the support face from the delivery position, so that the fixing portions fix the wafer.
