A wafer held on a delivery pad is lifted from a holding surface, and when a lower surface of the wafer has been spaced in its entirety from the holding surface, an air flow rate regulating valve is opened to eject air from the holding surface. As the distance between the holding surface and the wafer spaced from the holding surface increases by lifting of a delivery unit, the degree of opening of the air flow rate regulating valve is adjusted to increase a flow rate of air from the holding surface, thereby spacing the wafer from the holding surface in a short period of time without rupturing the wafer. 1a chuck table for holding a lower surface of a wafer on a holding surface thereof;a processing unit for processing an upper surface of the wafer whose lower surface is held on the holding surface;a delivery unit for unloading, from the holding surface, the wafer held on the holding surface; anda control unit; a fluid communication passage providing fluid communication between the holding surface and a water supply source,', 'a branching portion included in the fluid communication passage,', 'an air fluid communication passage providing air fluid communication between the branching portion and an air supply source,', 'a water flow rate regulating valve disposed in the fluid communication passage between the holding surface and the water supply source, for regulating a flow rate of water from the water supply source, and', 'an air flow rate regulating valve disposed in the air fluid communication passage, for regulating a flow rate of air from the air supply source, and, 'wherein the chuck table includes'} controls the delivery unit to hold the wafer held on the holding surface,', 'opens the water flow rate regulating valve to eject water from the holding surface,', 'spaces the wafer from the holding surface and lifts the delivery unit holding the wafer, from the holding surface, with the water ejected from the holding surface,', 'opens the air flow rate regulating ...
