A semiconductor wafer is provided with magnetic material about the periphery for magnetically clamping the wafer on a seating gasket at the processing station. The seating gasket is annular for peripherally supporting the wafer. An electro-magnet establishes a peripheral station magnetic field which attracts the wafer magnetic material to form the clamp. The station magnetic field may by reversed to levitate the wafer onto and off of the seating gasket.
