An apparatus for thermal processing of semiconductor wafers includes a table having in lateral sequence a heating chamber, a holding chamber, and a cassette stage and a boat for holding the wafers being processed. The apparatus further includes a boat transfer part for moving the boat between the holding chamber and the heating chamber, a wafer charging part for transferring the wafers loaded in a cassette on the cassette stage to the boat while it is in the holding chamber, and a wafer discharging part for transferring the wafers loaded in the boat back to the cassette on the cassette stage. |
