2. Description of the Related Art A conventional transfer jig, that is, a fork has a notch 2 provided in a pipe portion 1 to form a holding portion 3 of a wafer boat as shown in FIG. The notch 2 has an arc-shaped portion and a linear portion. Since the curved portion has the maximum bending moment, the portions 4 and 5 are thicker than the other portions. For example, refer to a wafer boat transfer jig described in JP-A-1-251713.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, even with such a thick wall, it does not have sufficient strength. When used for a long time, there is a disadvantage that the wafer boat holding section 3 bends as indicated by imaginary lines. At this time, it is desired to reduce the tip deflection amount T. In order to reduce the amount of deflection, the thickness of the entire fork must be increased, and the weight cannot be reduced.

JP-A-56-36129 describes a transfer jig for a wafer boat in which a notch is provided in a hollow quartz glass material to form a wafer boat holding portion for holding the wafer boat. A plate-like reinforcing member is provided along the notch to substantially shield both the notch and the wafer boat holding portion. However, in this transfer jig, not only is the wafer boat holding portion entirely shielded by a plate-like reinforcing member, but also a hollow portion is formed therein,
Since the hollow portion of the wafer boat holding portion thus formed communicates with the outside through the hollow portion of the cutout portion, cold air and impurities outside the furnace can reach the tip of the wafer boat holding portion.

Further, when the wafer boat is put into the furnace using the transfer jig of the present invention, the plate-like reinforcing member exerts a shielding effect between the arc-shaped portion of the cutout portion and the wafer boat holding portion. Therefore, it is possible to prevent air (cool air), impurities, and the like outside the furnace from flowing into the front end of the wafer boat holding portion and the furnace through the internal space of the transfer jig. In particular, when the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the furnace is large, there is a strong tendency that the cool air outside the furnace rapidly flows into the hollow portion of the wafer boat holding portion and the warm air inside the furnace. The rapid inflow into the hollow part of the wafer boat holding part and the furnace can be substantially blocked.

Further, when the plate-shaped reinforcing member is configured to substantially block the arc-shaped portion of the cutout portion and the wafer boat holding portion, the inner wall of the inner space of the transfer jig can be cleaned without cleaning the inner wall of the inner space. It is possible to reliably prevent the accumulated impurities and the like from entering the furnace through the wafer boat holding unit.
