CLAMP ARRANGEMENT FOR A SUBSTRATE CARRIER, AND METHOD FOR OPENING AND FASTENING A CLAMP ARRANGEMENT

摘要

A clamp device (100), a clamp tool (200), and a clamp arrangement (300) for clamping a substrate (480) to be processed in a substrate carrier (500) are described. The clamp device includes a first lever (110) and a second lever (120), wherein the first lever (110) is movably supported in a first joint (115), the second lever (120) is movably supported in a second joint (125), and wherein the first lever (110) and the second lever (120) are movably connected to each other by a first common joint (140). The second lever (120) includes a clamping portion (121) adapted for being pressed against the substrate (480; 510) to be processed. At least one of the first lever (110) and the second lever (120) comprises a contact portion (116; 126) for providing functional contact to a clamp tool (200; 610). The clamp tool is adapted for opening and fastening the clamp device.
