    摘要: A magnetic clamping apparatus includes a magnetic base, a handle, a grip, and a central axis. The magnetic base includes a magnet body and a mounting body. The handle and the magnetic base are concentrically positioned around the central axis. The mounting body is concentrically connected onto the magnet body thus allowing the magnet body to attach ferrous metals. The handle is terminally connected to the mounting body, and the grip is connected around the handle so that the user can easily grasp and control the magnetic clamping apparatus.

    摘要: Embodiments described herein provide for devices and methods for retaining optical devices. The devices and methods described herein provide for retention of the substrate without contacting sensitive portions of the substrate. The devices and methods utilize retention pads or vacuum pins to contact the exclusion zones i.e., inactive areas of the substrate to retain the substrate and prevent the substrate from moving laterally. Additionally, a holding force retains the substrate in the vertical direction, without contacting the substrate. The methods provide for adjusting the devices to account for multiple geometries of the substrate. The methods further provide for adjusting the devices, such as adjusting a gap between the optical device and a suction pad, to alter the holding force of the devices on the optical devices.

    摘要: The invention relates to a suction device (12) comprising a valve housing (18), a flexible partition wall (28) which runs in such a way that a control space (30) extends on one side and an intake side (21) lies on the other side, wherein the control space (30) is connected to the intake side (21) via a throttle passage (38), wherein the throttle passage (38) is formed in such a way that a flow resistance for flows is defined by the throttle passage (38) in such a way that, in the case of free suction, a negative pressure in relation to the intake side occurs in the control space (30) on account of the flow resistance. A sealing protrusion (44) protruding into the interior of the control space (30) and an associated seal seat (50) within the control space (30) are provided, wherein the sealing protrusion (44) and seal seat (50) are formed in such a way that, when the sealing protrusion (44) is placed against the seal seat (50), the flow path (40) through the throttle passage (38) into the control space (30) is interrupted within the control space (30).

    摘要: Disclosed is a vacuum chuck and a method for securing a warped semiconductor substrate during a semiconductor manufacturing process so as to improve its flatness during a semiconductor manufacturing process. For example, a semiconductor manufacturing system includes: a vacuum chuck configured to hold a substrate, wherein the vacuum chuck comprises, a plurality of vacuum grooves located on a top surface of the vacuum chuck, wherein the top surface is configured to face the substrate; and a plurality of flexible seal rings disposed on the vacuum chuck and extending outwardly from the top surface, wherein the plurality of flexible seal rings are configured to directly contact a bottom surface of the substrate and in adjacent to the plurality of vacuum grooves so as to form a vacuum seal between the substrate and the vacuum chuck, and wherein each of the plurality of flexible seal rings has a zigzag cross section.
