The present disclosure provides a loading apparatus and a physical vapor deposition (PVD) apparatus. The loading apparatus includes a pedestal configured to support a workpiece; and a first support member placed on the pedestal and configured to push up a cover ring when the pedestal is at an operation position to prevent an overlapping portion of a cover ring and the workpiece from contacting each other. In the loading apparatus and the PVD apparatus, the first support member supports the cover ring, such that the cover ring does not contact the workpiece, thereby reducing stress forces on the workpiece by external components.
