    摘要: An apparatus and associated method for securing a wafer to a SRD spider, the SRD spider has a plurality of spider arms. The apparatus includes a plurality of spaced surfaces disposed on a distal end of one of the spider arms, each of the surfaces being spaced perpendicularly from the longitudinal axis of the spider arm. In one aspect, the two surfaces are positioned to limit production of a wedging force between that spaced surface and the wafer. In one embodiment, a post at least partially defines each one of the plurality of spaced surfaces.

    摘要: In one aspect, a vacuum chuck supports a substrate on an end effector, the vacuum chuck comprising a position reference structure and a suction cup. The position reference structure is mounted to the surface and comprises a reference surface. The suction cup is located proximate the reference surface and comprising a suction mount. In another aspect, a method of chucking a substrate to a vacuum chuck is provided. The vacuum chuck comprises a suction cup and a position reference structure. The method comprises attaching the suction cup to the substrate to form a seal therebetween. The suction cup is deformed such that the substrate contacts the position reference structure. The substrate is then leveled on the position reference structure.
