Design and Manufacture of Daughter Rings (Expansion Rings, Crystal Expansion Rings)

What is a Grip Ring?

The Grip Ring (also known as the expansion ring/wafer expansion ring/grip ring) is a key component designed for wafer fixation and LED/IC wafer carrier applications. Through mechanical expansion and high-density design, the mother-and-child ring can firmly attach the wafer to the film surface, ensuring positioning stability and product yield during transportation, processing and packaging.

The GR series of mother and daughter rings launched by our company are made of high-strength materials and precision processes, providing world-class expansion performance and life guarantee. They are indispensable precision carrier components for various semiconductor, LED, optoelectronic, and packaging and testing production lines.

Key technical development points for GR series mother-child rings

✅High compactness and stable expansion design

  • Precision machining mechanism design to achieve uniform expansion and high tightness fit
  • Effectively prevent wafer displacement, deflection or warping during the process
