Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9833205A1] The invention relates to a device for fixing and protecting objects, consisting of a base, walls defining an outer area and an inner area mounted on said base, at least one inlet leading to the outer area, at least one inlet leading to the inner area, and means 844) to produce an overpressure in the outer area (via the inlet) in relation to ambient pressure. The inventive device enables fixing, even in the case of low ambient pressure (< 30 torr) when fixing involving the so-called "Bernoulli effect" is no longer possible. Fixing is specifically provided by the invention so that contact with the reverse side of a silicon disc is no longer required during a vacuum process.
