A wafer demounting receptacle comprises a substantially circular plate member and an upstanding rim structure provided around a periphery of the plate member. The rim structure is stepped and includes a first step defining a first diameter, and a second step defining a second diameter grater than the first diameter. The riser of the first step has a very low height so that a gap between the plate member and a fragile semiconductor wafer bonded to a carrier having a peripheral abutment surface resting on the run of the first step, limits the bending of an edge portion of the wafer in a direction towards the plate member while the wafer is partially demounted from a wafer carrier. The plate member is further provided with a pattern of holes that generates eddy currents in a solvent that flows over the wafer, carrier, and receptacle so as to soften and dissolve the mounting adhesive between the wafer and carrier such that the wafer is separated from the carrier. The wafer demount receptacle can be used in conjunction with a wafer demount tool comprising a chamber defined between a backing plate and a contact plate. The chamber is provided with a gas inlet for introducing a pressurized gas, while the contact plate is provided with a plurality of through-holes. The wafer demount tool is mated to the wafer demount receptacle such that the contact plate is juxtaposed against the back side of a wafer carrier resting in the wafer demount receptacle. Pressurized gas flowing through the wafer demount tool displaces solvent from the wafer-carrier interface to further promote separation of the wafer from the carrier.
