Abstract

Large area semiconductor wafers such as CCDs typically have a non-flat profile. A vacuum chuck is used to generate a vacuum under the chip to reduce the curvature to conform to the flat profile of the substrate surface through which the vacuum is generated. Other than flat final profiles are useful also.
