A semiconductor manufacturing apparatus includes a supporting unit for supporting a semiconductor wafer received from a CMP apparatus and a vacuuming system for holding the wafer on the supporting unit. The vacuuming is applied only in a peripheral area of the wafer. In the peripheral area of the wafer, any circuit such as interconnections and devices are not manufactured. When the wafer is released by supplying gas to the vacuumed space, even if static electricity occurs, the electronic circuit to be manufactured on the wafer does not harmed, because the static electricity occurs only in the peripheral area where any circuit does not exist.
