This design of a unique non contact chuck, was a part of a much larger scale design and engineering project of a wet processing machine for the semiconductor industry.
The client requested Vertex to design, engineer and produce a scalable new chuck that can hold the wafer from the bottom end and at the same time process the same side which the wafer is held from. We had strict instructions not to have any contact with the top side of the wafer, due to sensitive semiconductor design on that side, therefore the name “Non Contact Chuck”.
This unique design had to overcome and avoid collision of the wafer’s holding fingers with the process module while scanning the wafer above it. This resulted in holding fingers behaving like Millipede legs.
Challenges in this design were enormous.
The chuck had to spin 360 degrees, travel on the Z axis, pressurize the top side of the wafer with air to prevent any liquid from getting to the top side, as well as, pneumatically control and actuate each finger at the right time.
Great project to work on, great challenge and great results.

A new study measuring everyday irritations like heat, traffic and household pests ranks major southern cities among the most irritated in the nation. Atlanta (No. 1), Houston (No. 2), Washington DC (No. 3) and Baltimore (No. 4) ranked the highest in irritating factors, while predominantly northern cities like Rochester (No. 50), Milwaukee (No. 49), Minneapolis (No. 48), Buffalo (No. 47), and Tucson (No. 46), the arid outlier, ranked the lowest.

HOLD ME Lyrics
Music: Maini Sorri
Lyrics: Gary Cornman
1. I'm feeling really down
I hope you come around.
Hold me real tight with all your might.
2. Hold me every way
Hold me throughout the day.
Feeling upside down about to drown.
Chore: Hold me, just hold me
Don't let me sit here alone
you can just pick up your phone
Hold me, just hold me
I need that you will stop on by
you can dry a teary eye.
Hold me.
3. Just hold me in this room
to help me out of gloom.
Hold before you go I feel so low.
4. I want your loving hugs
just like addictive drugs
never got enough of hugging stuff.
Chore: Hold me, just hold me
Don't let me sit here alone
you can just pick up your phone
Hold me, just hold me
I need that you will stop on by
you can dry a teary eye.
Hold me.
Hold me in the night and make it bright
reaching out for you to get me out of blue.
Hold me.
5. I'm feeling really down
I hope you come around.
Hold me real tight with all your might.
6. Hold me every way
Hold me throughout the day.
Feeling upside down about to drown.
Chore: Hold me, just hold me
Don't let me sit here alone
you can just pick up your phone
Hold me, just hold me
I need that you will stop on by
you can dry a teary eye.
Chore: Hold me, just hold me
Don't let me sit here alone
you can just pick up your phone
Hold me, just hold me
I need that you will stop on by
you can dry a teary eye.
