WAFER FILM FRAME CARRIER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17735623 titled 'WAFER FILM FRAME CARRIER

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a semiconductor substrate carrier frame that has a central aperture and multiple fingers attached to the frame body. Each finger extends into the central aperture and has a substrate receiving interface. One or more of the fingers have an actuator that can manipulate the finger between a substrate holding position and an open position.

  • The patent application is for a semiconductor substrate carrier frame.
  • The frame has a central aperture and multiple fingers attached to it.
  • Each finger extends into the central aperture and has a substrate receiving interface.
  • Some of the fingers have an actuator that can manipulate them between holding a substrate and being open.
  • The innovation allows for efficient handling and manipulation of semiconductor substrates.


Original Abstract Submitted

Exemplary semiconductor substrate carrier frames may include a frame body defining a central aperture. The frames may include a plurality of fingers that are coupled with the frame body. Each of the plurality of fingers may extend into the central aperture. Each of the plurality of fingers may include a substrate receiving interface. At least one of the plurality of fingers may include an actuator that manipulates a respective one of the at least one of the plurality of fingers between a substrate holding position and an open position.
