Abstract:
A method includes disposing a wafer in a cup of a clamshell of an electroplating apparatus. The wafer is clamped using the cup and a cone of the clamshell. First pressure forces of contacts of the cup applied by the wafer is detected. The first pressure forces are respective compared with corresponding predetermined pressure ranges.

Claim (Index 16):
A device for an electroplating apparatus, comprising:\n a cup configured to support a wafer, where in the cup comprises:\n a plurality of contacts; and \n a plurality of pressure sensors below the contacts; \n a cone over the cup and configured to clamp the wafer with the cup; and a feedback module electrically communicated with the pressure sensors to receive and analyze pressure forces detected by the pressure sensors.
