A wafer may be placed between the gaskets of the housing body and the thrust plate. The flexure clamp may be placed over the thrust plate and secured to the housing body by rotating the flexure clamp such that locking grooves of the fixture plate mate with the flexure pins on the inner circumference of the housing body. The present invention in yet another embodiment is a wafer etch tool comprising a housing, a flexure clamp, and means for securing a wafer between the housing and the flexure clamp upon rotation of the flexure clamp within the housing.
