Abstract: A chucking apparatus and methods for coating a glass substrate using a vacuum deposition process are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the chucking apparatus includes an ESC (ESC), a carrier disposed on the ESC, wherein the carrier comprises a first surface adjacent to the ESC and an opposing second surface for forming a Van der Waals bond with a third surface of a glass substrate, without application of a mechanical force on a fourth surface of the glass substrate opposing the third surface. In one or more embodiments, the method includes disposing a carrier and a glass substrate on an ESC, such that the carrier is between the glass substrate and the ESC to form a chucking assembly, forming a Van der Waals bond between the carrier and the glass substrate, and vacuum depositing a coating on the glass substrate.

Abstract: A chucking apparatus and method for vacuum processing mobile device cover substrates in a vacuum chamber in which the chucking apparatus is configured for temporarily securing the cover substrate within the vacuum chamber, and includes a carrier substrate with a CTE within 20% of CTE of the cover substrate to prevent the carrier substrate and the cover substrate from becoming detached from one another due to differing rates of thermal expansion during processing in the vacuum chamber. The carrier substrate has a surface contact area in contact with the cover substrate selected to provide for continuous bonding during the processing in the vacuum chamber and to provide for de-bonding after the process in the vacuum chamber is complete. Further, the carrier substrate is prepared for use with a cleaning process that facilitates Van der Waals bonding between the carrier substrate and the cover substrate.
