October 31, 2025Summary
In electronics, a wafer is a thin slice of semiconductor, such as a crystalline silicon, used for the fabrication of integrated circuits and, in photovoltaics, to manufacture solar cells. The wafer serves as the substrate for microelectronic devices built in and upon the wafer. It undergoes many microfabrication processes, such as doping, ion implantation, etching, thin-film deposition of various materials, and photolithographic patterning. Finally, the individual microcircuits are separated by wafer dicing and packaged as an integrated circuit.

(Cordless) Palm : Semiconductor Wafer Adsorption
■ Patent Coulomb-Force E-Chuck (Electrostatic Chuck) : <br /> <br />Patent Coulomb-Force E-Chuck has been developed long time and has dozens of international patents. <br /> <br />Advanced technology enclose electrical field in the E-Chuck. E-Chuck become a move-free carrier. After adhesion setting, Move-Free Supporter can disconnect the power supply and still keep adhesion force. Move-Free support can support hardness or shape reinforcements for thin wafer or glass panel. <br /> <br />Patent Coulomb-Force E-Chuck has best characteristics than many electrostatic chucks under long-term advanced researches and developments. Patent Coulomb-Force E-Chuck is a ideal handling tool for soft and thin materials. <br /> <br />■ Adsorbable Material <br />(1) Metal conductor (e.g., copper foil) <br />(2) Semiconductors (e.g., silicon, GaAs) <br />(3) Insulators (e.g., paper, glass substrate) <br />(4) Porous objects. <br />(5) The adsorption force per unit area is related to the adsorption material and the contact surface smoothness. <br />(6) Material ranking of the adsorption force per unit area is : Metal 1st, Semiconductors 2nd, Insulator 3rd. <br /> <br />■ Operational Environment <br />(1) Atmospheric Pressure. <br />(2) Vacuum Environment. <br /> <br />■ Main Handling Applications <br />(1) Thin and large size flat glass. <br />(2) Semiconductor thin wafers. <br />(3) Big Size Wafer Handling and Moving. <br />(4) Warp wafers. <br />(5) Move-Free Shape Reinforcement Carrier (Eg, 4" Wafer-on-6" E-Chuck). <br />(6) Soft copper foil. <br />(7) Soft film. <br />(8) Curved glass. <br />(9) Vacuum Lamination for OLED or Touch Panel. <br />(10) Vacuum deposition. <br /> <br />■ Main Products <br /> <br />① (Move-Free) Thin Wafer Supporter <br />1. Be able to keep adhesion without power source connection. <br />2. Need connect controller for about 30 seconds to switch the adhesion state. <br />3. After adhesion setting, move-free supporter can keep adhesion status even disconnecting power. <br />4. Maximum operating temperature: 250 degrees centigrade. <br />5. Suitable for soft and thin object carriers. (Eg, thin wafer, thin glass panel, 4"wafer-on-6"chuck Shape Reinforcement Carrier). <br /> <br />② (Wired) Stage Holder <br />1. Real time power switch to set adsorption or release. <br />2. Maximum operating temperature: 200 degrees centigrade (E-Chuck surface). <br />3. Suitable for automation equipments. (Eg, curved glass, borderless screen, OLED vacuum Lamination.) <br /> <br />③ (Cordless) Palm: <br />1. Use battery as power source. <br />2. Suitable to adhere small and lightweight objects. (Eg, 12 "wafers, 7" flat glass.) <br /> <br />④ Other Custom E-Chuck: <br />1. Patent Cordless Holder (built-in battery, suitable for conveying lightweight objects) <br />2. Patent Electric Belt (curved cylinder shape E-Chuck) (Eg, Paper Printer.) <br />3.
