    Abstract: The amount of particulate contamination produced due to rubbing between a semiconductor substrate and the robotic substrate handling blade has been greatly reduced by the use of specialized materials either as the principal material of construction for the semiconductor substrate handling blade, or as a coating upon the surface of the substrate handling blade. In particular, the specialized material must exhibit the desired stiffness at temperatures in excess of about 450° C.; the specialized material must also have an abrasion resistant surface which does not produce particulates when rubbed against the semiconductor substrate. The abrasion resistant surface needs to be very smooth, having a surface finish of less than 1.0 micro inch, and preferably less than 0.2 micro inch. In addition, the surface must be essentially void-free. In the most preferred embodiments, the upper, top surface of the substrate handling blade is constructed from a dielectric material being smooth, non-porous, and wear-resistant. A preferred material for construction of the substrate handling blade is single crystal sapphire. Other single crystal materials, such as single crystal silicon and single crystal silicon carbide should also perform well. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the substrate handling blade, a capacitance sensor is used to indicate the presence of a semiconductor substrate on the surface of the handling blade and a structure through which vacuum is applied may be used to hold (chuck) the semiconductor substrate to the surface of the handling blade.

    Abstract: The invention is a semi-permeable membrane which comprises a polymeric matrix with two porous surfaces and a region which functions to separate one or more gases from one or more other gases.The membranes of this invention exhibit excellent separation factors and flux. Such membranes are less prone to being damaged due to handling and exposure to contaminants due to the internal region which affects the separation, as the porous surfaces function to protect such region.
