A workpiece holder includes a chuck body and a seal ring. The chuck body includes a receiving surface configured to receive a workpiece and at least one vacuum port configured to apply a vacuum seal. The seal ring surrounds a side surface of the chuck body. A top surface of the seal ring is higher than the receiving surface of the chuck body, and the workpiece leans against the seal ring when the vacuum seal is applied between the workpiece and the chuck body.
