Abstract

A substrate conveyor apparatus carries a substrate on which patterns are formed, carries the substrate in a state protected by a protective cover when the substrate is not used, and carries a cover protection means that covers the inner surface of the protective cover when the substrate is used. The substrate conveyor apparatus has a grounding means that grounds the substrate or the protective cover.
