Abstract

To prevent processed waste from adhering to a holding member when a workpiece is processed by using the holding member.SOLUTION: A processing method includes: a holding step in which a workpiece 200 supported by a holding member 211 on a frame 210 is held on a holding table 6; and a processing step in which the workpiece 200 held on the holding table 6 is processed by a process unit 20. In the processing step, washing water 700 is supplied to an exposed area 230 of the holding member 211 which is exposed between the workpiece 200 and the frame 210.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
