PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wafer carrier in which a variety of wafer sizes can be recognized without arranging a sensor additionally, and to provide a carrying method. SOLUTION: The wafer carrier comprises an arm mechanism section 5 for taking out a wafer 1 from a cassette 2 containing the wafer 1, one detecting section 9 for detecting positional information at two points of the edge part of the wafer taken out at the arm mechanism section during the carrying process of the wafer, and a control section for recognizing the size of the wafer based on the distance between two points detected at the detecting section.
