Wafer chucks serviced by Valley Design Corp. Wafer chucks, also referred to as vacuum chucks or dicing chucks, can be reconditioned to original flatness and parallelism specifications. Instead of replacing vacuum chucks send them to Valley Design for reconditioning. Wafer Chuck Reconditioning Valley Design Corp. now offers wafer chuck reconditioning services. Precision vacuum chucks are manufactured to extreme flatness and parallelism, and some have mirror-like surface finishes.
Porous chucks have ceramic, quartz or metal inserts which can loosen.
Eventually, the chuck's vacuum seal surface may become scratched and pores may become clogged. Continuing to use a damaged chuck limits your company's capabilities and compromises quality. Replacing a damaged chuck can cost thousands of dollars. Valley Design's chuck reconditioning service will restore your part to its original flatness and surface quality, giving years of added use at a fraction of the cost of replacement.
