Ceramic End Effector with porous ceramic built in suitable for handling warped wafer or thin wafer that cannot be held properly with the standard vacuum suction type end-effector. Thinned wafer delivers a major problem for normal end effectors because the unsupported area of a wafer is usually deformed at the open vacuum area.
High purity alumina ceramic sintered body is used for the main body of end-effector, and porous ceramic is used for the wafer suction surface.
Porous end-effector can hold thin wafer without deformation.
Conductive Teflon coating is available for suction surface.
