  • SOFT TOUCH COATING MATERIALS FOR SUBSTRATE HANDLING
    Publication number: 20250149373
    Abstract: Semiconductor components and systems having substrate contacting surfaces with a reduced hardness are provided. Systems and components include a ceramic, metallic, or non-metallic component for contacting a substrate. Systems and components include a layer of coating material on at least a portion of a substrate contacting surface of the component. Systems and components include where the component for contacting a substrate includes a component Vickers hardness value, and the layer of coating material exhibits a coating layer Vickers hardness value. Systems and components include where the coating layer Vickers hardness value is greater than or about 10% less than the component Vickers hardness value.
