The main unit thereof is made of a rectangular-plate-like frame structure in which an opening portion in a rectangular shape is formed in a metal plate in a similar shape. It is configured such that a contact portion of a carrier with the main unit is covered with the main unit. As a result, even while the sputtering apparatus is in operation, there is no possibility of the occurrence of undesirable situations such as glass cracking, making it possible to significantly increase the number of times the dummy substrate is used.
