Abstract:
Embodiments of improved substrate carriers are provided herein. In some embodiments, a substrate carrier, includes: a multi-layered disk having upper and lower layers formed of a continuous material and an electrostatic electrode structure disposed therebetween, wherein the multi-layered disk is dimensioned and arranged so as to have a nominal dimension which exceeds a nominal dimension of a standard substrate size used in the manufacture of light emitting diode devices, and wherein the multi-layered disk is formed symmetrically about a central axis and defines a substantially planar upper surface.
Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses and methods for determining a surface profile of a substrate are provided. In one embodiment, a method includes projecting a signal having a vertical component/profile across the surface of the substrate from a plurality of locations along a first side of the substrate, capturing the projected signals at each of a plurality of respective locations across the surface of the substrate and determining a surface profile for the substrate using the captured signals. The process can be automated using a controller having predetermined projection and capture positions along respective sides of the substrate, where a surface profile of the substrate can be automatically determined by the controller using the captured signals.
