    摘要: A method and apparatus for supporting a substrate is generally provided. In one aspect, an apparatus for supporting a substrate includes a support plate having a first body disposed proximate thereto. A first pushing member is radially coupled to the first body and adapted to urge the substrate in a first direction parallel to the support plate when the first body rotates. In another aspect, a load lock chamber having a substrate support that supports a substrate placed thereon includes a cooling plate that is moved to actuate at least one alignment mechanism. The alignment mechanism includes a pushing member that urges the substrate in a first direction towards a center of the support. The pushing member may additionally rotate about an axis perpendicular to the first direction.

In one embodiment, an apparatus for detecting substrate defects includes a sensor arrangement including at least two sensors that continuously sense a substrate near at least two parallel edges of the substrate as the substrate passes the sensors. In another embodiment, an apparatus for detecting substrate defects includes a robot having a substrate support surface, and a sensor arrangement including at least two sensors that continuously sense a substrate near at least two parallel edges of the substrate during substrate transfer on the substrate support surface. In another embodiment, a method of continuously detecting substrate defects includes positioning at least two sensors to continuously sense a substrate near at least two parallel edges of the substrate as the substrate passes the sensors, and transmitting a signal from each of the at least two sensors to a controller that continuously monitors the signals from the at least two sensors to detect the presence of a substrate defect.

    摘要: The present invention generally comprises a physical vapor deposition (PVD) system having separate susceptor, cathode, and lid sections in which each section is on a rail that elevates the sections off the ground. The cathode section may comprise a plurality of rotatable cathodes that lie in a plane such that the axis of rotation for the rotary cathodes is perpendicular to the ground. The lid section and the cathode section may be moved on the rails to open the cathode section for servicing. Of the plurality of rotatable cathodes, the cathodes corresponding to the center of the substrate upon which material will be deposited are spaced a greater distance from the substrate than rotatable cathodes corresponding to the edge of the substrate.
