The present invention relates to a wafer holding device comprising a rotatable base and a plurality of weighted-jaws pivotally coupled on the base. Each of the weighted-jaws is provided with a step portion, used to support and clamp the wafer, and a pendulum weight. The pendulum weight can be integrally formed or detachably hanged on the jaw, depending on the size of the wafer clamped. As the base is rotated at a predetermined velocity, the pendulum weights sway out of the axis of the base due to the centrifugal force generated by the rotation, thereby clamping the wafer in the step portions. The preferred embodiment of the present invention can further provide a stopper formed on the base and a spring connected between the base and each of the jaws so as to keep limit the movement of the jaws within predetermined range.
