  • Method and apparatus for fabricating a wafer spacing mask on a substrate support chuck
    Patent number: 6623605
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for fabricating a wafer spacing mask and a substrate support chuck. Such apparatus is a stencil containing a plurality of dual counterbored apertures that is positioned atop the substrate support chuck while material is deposited onto the stencil and through the apertures' openings onto the chuck. Upon completion of the deposition process, the stencil is removed from the workpiece support chuck leaving deposits of the material of various widths but the same heights to form the wafer spacing mask.
