Blended contact fingers for preventing cracks during thin substrate handling

Abstract

A contact for providing a connection to a substrate in a substrate plating system includes a body having an arcuate shape. The arcuate shape of the body is configured to conform to a shape of at least a portion of a substrate arranged on a lip seal and a cup of the substrate plating system. A plurality of first contact fingers extend a first distance from the body. A plurality of second contact fingers extend a second distance from the body. The first distance is greater than the second distance.
