  • Manufacture of high strength, high density carrier plate
    Patent number: 8383029
    Abstract: A carrier plate for supporting electronic components during processing includes hexagonally-arranged holes for supporting the components. Walls of the holes comprise a gripping resilient material. The hexagonal arrangement provides a strong carrier that improves production yield through an increase in per batch processing and improved locational accuracy over conventional carriers.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 19, 2009
    Date of Patent: February 26, 2013
    Assignee: Electro Scientific Industries, Inc.
