  • Publication number: 20230375945
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to workpiece support for supporting a workpiece during semiconductor processing. The workpiece support includes one or more support frame bodies including a plurality of spaced apart spacers on a first surface of the support frame bodies. The spacers include a first surface spaced apart from the first surface of the support frame body. The spacing between the first surface of the spacers and the first surface of the support frame body results in the underside of the workpiece contacting the spacers but not contacting the first surface of the support frame body. Portions of the underside of the workpiece that do not contact the first surface of the support frame body are less susceptible to damage or accumulation of unwanted debris.
