Abstract:
1. A clip for use with a substrate holder to hold an edge region of a substrate in a plasma processing system, the clip comprising: a first body member including a first clamping surface and a first magnet, said first body member configured to be mechanically connected with the substrate holder; a hinge; and a second body member including a second clamping surface and a second magnet, said second body member mechanically connected by said hinge for pivotal movement relative to said first body member between a closed position in which the edge region of the substrate is positioned between said first and second clamping surfaces in a contacting relationship and an opened position in which the edge region of the substrate is released, and said second magnet configured to magnetically attract said first magnet when said second body member is in said closed position to apply a force that restrains movement of the edge region of the substrate relative to said first and second clamping surfaces.
