Wafer Chucks
ARC Technologies (Advanced Research Corporation)
ARC, in addition to fabricating Wafer Chucks from aluminum, is also known for its ability to work in hard to machine materials such as hardened (50-62 Rockwell) metal alloys, fired ceramics, e.g. SiC and glasses. These materials are often ideal for semiconductor equipment applications due to their ability to hold critical dimensions and tolerances. ARC specializes in surface grinding and lapping these materials to precision flatness and parallelism specifications needed for semiconductor wafer chuck requirements.
