    摘要: A holding apparatus, in particular a chuck, for a substrate comprises a main body with a upper side, a carrier element arranged in a recess of the main body so as to be vertically movable such that it can be adjusted between a protruding loading position and a retracted clamping position, the carrier element comprising a support surface for placement of the substrate. The support surface has a smaller diameter than the main body. A lifting element lifts the carrier element to the loading position. The carrier element seals the recess such that a sealed cavity is provided between the main body and the carrier element, which cavity can have a negative pressure applied thereto which counteracts the effect of the lifting element.
