CARRIER CHUCK AND METHODS OF FORMING AND USING THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240177907 titled 'CARRIER CHUCK AND METHODS OF FORMING AND USING THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure is directed to a carrier chuck with a base plate and magnets to retain or suspend a panel during processing.

  • The carrier chuck has a base plate with a top surface.
  • A plurality of first magnets are positioned in a first region of the top surface.
  • The first magnets produce a first electromagnetic field to retain or suspend a panel with magnetic material during processing.

Potential Applications

This technology can be used in industries such as electronics manufacturing, semiconductor fabrication, and solar panel production.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of securely holding panels with magnetic material during processing, preventing damage or misalignment.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved efficiency in panel processing, reduced risk of damage, and increased precision in manufacturing.

Potential Commercial Applications

One potential commercial application of this technology is in automated production lines for electronic devices, where precise panel handling is crucial for quality control.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be magnetic chuck systems used in machining processes to hold metal workpieces securely in place during machining operations.

Unanswered Questions

How does the electromagnetic field affect the panel during processing?

The electromagnetic field produced by the magnets may have an impact on the panel material or surrounding equipment, which could affect the overall processing quality.

Are there any limitations to the size or weight of panels that can be held by this carrier chuck?

It is important to understand the maximum capacity of the carrier chuck in terms of panel size and weight to ensure efficient and safe processing operations.


Original Abstract Submitted

the present disclosure is directed to a carrier chuck having a base plate with a top surface, a plurality of first magnets positioned in a first region of the top surface, the plurality of first magnets configured to produce a first electromagnetic field to retain or suspend a panel placed on the carrier chuck during panel processing, wherein the first region corresponds to a region of the panel which comprises a magnetic material.
