A typical prior art bottle chuck is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4.21.
No. 3,698 (Filkjon et al., published July 22, 1980), such prior art chucks utilize a vacuum source, as shown in FIGS.
The wafer is sucked onto a number of metal support posts. This prior art chuck is expensive to manufacture and the wafer
The metal chips, jackets, and semiconductor wafers have different coefficients of thermal expansion, which imparts strain. Additionally, the wafer attachment has a metal surface, resulting in cold welding and contamination of the subsequent diffusion chamber.

In accordance with the illustrated preferred embodiment of the invention, the vacuum pinch chuck is fabricated from a single piece of monolithic silicon. The surface of the chuck is polished and etched such that an annular outer sealing surface surrounds the flat peak and valley inner region. A hole drilled through the inner region allows access to a vacuum device. Contact of the semiconductor wafer being processed is made only by the annular surface and the peak of the inner region. Air flow passages through the valleys allow the wafer to be firmly vacuumed to the flat peak and annular sealing surface. Since the mounting surface area (the area consisting of the annular sealing surface and the tip of the peak) is less than 4% of the pinch surface area, there is a low probability that foreign matter such as small sand will enter between the wafer and the mounting surface. . Furthermore,
Since the chuck and wafer can be manufactured from the same material, the wafer and chuck thermal expansion coefficients will be the same. Furthermore, cold welding between the chuck and the wafer does not affect the flatness of the chuck because the broken peaks are fractured without flashing. Furthermore, cold welding of the chuck to the wafer is not susceptible to contamination of the diffusion chamber used in subsequent processing steps. This is because the chuck material is inert.

In another preferred embodiment of the invention, electrostatic forces are used to firmly attract the wafer to the chuck. A dielectric material is applied to the wafer attachment surface, the wafer is grounded, and a high voltage is applied to the pinch chuck. A vacuum source is used to initially draw the wafer into contact with the chuck, and the electrostatic force helps to hold the wafer firmly to the chuck as the distance between the wafer and the chuck decreases.
