01

High Lateral Grip

Stability during wafer transfer.

02

Low Vertical Tack

Controlled, smooth wafer release.

03

Custom Integration

Designed around your application.

01 / SURFCON® PRODUCTS

A small interface.
A critical role.

Dry adhesive pads for the contact point between your substrate and handling equipment. Choose a mounting approach, then match the material and geometry to your process.

Understand the technology
01

Material

Proprietary polymers selected for the contact surface, temperature and electrical requirements.

02

Microstructure

Engineered contact features balance lateral grip with low vertical tack.

03

Integration

Pad shape, mounting and placement are considered together with your handling conditions.

Performance depends on the selected model, contact surface and operating conditions.

03 / APPLICATIONS

Start with your
handling challenge.

From stable transfer to controlled lift-off, the right pad starts with a clear understanding of your substrate and process.

Explore handling applications
01 / TRANSFER

Resist sliding

Support stable positioning during wafer movement and acceleration.

02 / WARPAGE

Match the contact

Consider pad geometry and placement for warped or uneven substrates.

03 / VACUUM

Integrate with suction

Review pad and vacuum interface options for the equipment setup.
