It combines high rigidity, a low coefficient of thermal expansion, superior flatness, and a uniform microporous structure, enabling stable, non-damaging, and contamination-free vacuum clamping of precision workpieces such as wafers, silicon substrates, and glass panels.
99.9% High-Purity Porous Alumina Ceramic Vacuum Chuck
Product Description
This 99.9% High-purity Ceramic Vacuum Chuck serves as a precision vacuum-holding component for equipment used in wafer probing, optical coating, and electronic substrate processing. The chuck surface features a six-zone airflow design with concentric spiral grooves, ensuring uniform negative pressure for the stable holding of precision substrates like 4/6-inch wafers and ultra-thin glass. High-purity alumina offers exceptional electrical insulation, chemical resistance (acid/alkali), and high-temperature stability; it prevents high-voltage arcing within the chamber and eliminates impurity-induced contamination. The dense, polished surface generates minimal particulates, effectively enhancing product yield. Compared to silicon carbide or zirconia chucks, this product offers superior cost-performance in low-to-medium temperature applications free from intense plasma corrosion. Fully customizable regarding dimensions, airflow paths, and heating channels, the product undergoes vacuum leak testing and cleanroom cleaning prior to shipment, providing a one-stop alumina ceramic customization service for global semiconductor, optical, and electronics manufacturers.

2. Air channel groove structure
Product Core Advantages
1. Ultra-high purity and exceptional cleanliness
With an alumina purity of ≥99.9% and strictly controlled levels of impurities such as Na, Fe, and Si (Na ≤2 ppm, Fe ≤3 ppm, Si ≤10 ppm), the material effectively prevents metal ion contamination and particle defects during wafer processing, meeting the rigorous cleanliness requirements of advanced manufacturing processes.
2. Precision microporous structure for uniform suction
Utilizing porous ceramic technology, the material features a micropore size range of 2–100 μm (customizable), a porosity of 30%–50%, and an interconnected pore network. The suction force is evenly distributed, with the pressure differential controlled within ±5 kPa across a 10×10 mm area, ensuring that thin workpieces (such as silicon wafers and thin films) remain free from deformation and suction marks.
3.Ultra-high geometric precision
Flatness: ≤3 μm (4–6 inch), ≤5 μm (8 inch), ≤10 μm (12 inch)
Parallelism: ≤3 μm
Surface roughness: Ra ≤ 0.1 μm (mirror-like finish)
Precision grinding and polishing result in a smooth, refined surface, eliminating the risk of workpiece scratching.
4.Exceptional physicochemical properties
High hardness: vickers hardness ≥1700 HV; excellent wear resistance and a service life far exceeding that of traditional metal suction cups
High flexural strength: ≥379 MPa; high load-bearing capacity
High-temperature resistance: maximum operating temperature up to 1700°C; low thermal expansion coefficient (6.5–8.0×10⁻⁶/℃) and excellent thermal stability
Chemical inertness: resistant to corrosion from strong acids, strong alkalis, and organic solvents; suitable for various cleaning and etching process environments
Excellent electrical insulation: volume resistivity >1×10¹⁴ Ω·cm (at 25°C); dielectric strength ≥18 kV/mm
5.Modular design for flexible adaptability.
The ceramic suction face is precision-bonded to the base (available in stainless steel, aluminum alloy, or ceramic), supporting dual-mode operation: vacuum suction and positive-pressure release.Complex surface geometries and pneumatic interfaces can be customized to specific equipment models, ensuring compatibility with mainstream semiconductor equipment.
