APPLICATION NOTES
Handling warped wafers +

Consider the wafer warpage and required contact area. Dome geometry can accommodate concave and convex wafers; flat pads require sufficient height relative to the warpage. Confirm the geometry through application evaluation.

Combining with vacuum suction +

SurfCon® DONUT and vacuum cup configurations are available for applications that require vacuum suction. Discuss the suction interface and wafer contact conditions with our team.

Model, dimensions and material are selected together. Custom designs available.

MATERIAL SELECTION

Match the material
to your process.

Start with the electrical requirement, then review the contact surface, temperature and process environment together.

02 / MATERIAL

POLMA material sample
INSULATIVE TYPE

POLMA®

Proprietary polymer for SurfCon® pads, designed for purity and chemical resistance.

For applications without an ESD conductivity requirement.
