Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Implementations of a clamp finger may include a first portion including at least one tip configured to clamp a substrate against an anvil during a bonding operation; and a second portion including a first opening therethrough configured to permit coupling of the second portion with a clamping bridge. The first portion may be slidably coupled with the second portion through a rail and the first portion may include an opening therethrough configured to receive a screw that fixedly couples the at least one tip of the first portion at a desired position relative to the second portion.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A clamp finger comprising: a tip portion comprising a rail at a first end and an opening therethrough at the first end; a fastening portion comprising: a groove that slidably receives the rail therein; and a first opening therethrough configured to permit coupling of the fastening portion with a clamping bridge; and a retaining portion comprising a setscrew positioned to retain the rail of the tip portion at a desired tip position configured to clamp a substrate against an anvil during a bonding operation; wherein the retaining portion is fixedly coupled to the fastening portion through a screw. 2 . The clamp finger of claim 1 , wherein the first end of the tip portion is opposite a second end of the tip portion, the second end comprising at least one tip. 3 . The clamp finger of claim 1 , wherein a screw biases the rail of the tip portion against the groove in the fastening portion through the opening in the tip portion. 4 . The clamp finger of claim 3 , wherein a shape of the rail is a pin and a shape of the groove is a tail forming a dovetail joint. 5 . The clamp finger of claim 3 , wherein a cross sectional shape of the rail is a hexagon and a shape of the groove is a corresponding hexagon open on one side of the hexagon. 6 . The clamp finger of claim 1 , wherein the tip portion is adjustable from a first lower down-set position to a second higher down-set position through sliding the rail of the tip portion through the groove of the fastening portion.
