    摘要: A method of transferring one or more substrates between process modules or load lock stations while minimizing heat loss is provided. In some embodiments the method comprising the steps of: identifying a destination location D1 for a substrate S1 present at an initial processing location P1; if the destination location D1 is occupied with a substrate S2, maintaining the substrate S1 at the initial processing location P1; and if the destination location D1 is available, transferring the substrate S1 to the destination location D1. In accordance with additional embodiments, the method is carried out on a system for processing substrates which includes two or more process modules, a substrate handling robot, a load lock chamber, and a transverse substrate handler. The transverse substrate handler includes mobile transverse chambers configured to convey substrates to process modules, wherein each mobile transverse chamber is configured to maintain a specified gas condition during the conveyance of the substrates. The transverse substrate handler further includes a rail for supporting the mobile transverse chambers, wherein the rail is positioned adjacent to entry of the process modules, and drive systems for moving the mobile transverse chambers on the rail.

    摘要: A wireless lifting assist device includes a pulley driven by an actuator which is attached to a ceiling. An end-effector is suspended, via a line, from the pulley and interfaces the object to be maneuvered. The wireless lifting assist device further provides an instrumented glove worn by an operator. The glove measures the contact force the operator is exerting on either the object to be moved or the lifting assist device and generates a set of contact signals representing the contact force. The contact signals are transmitted to a controller. The controller generates a set of command signals to control the actuator as a function of the operator contact force such that a predetermined percentage of the force necessary to lift or lower the load is applied by the actuator, with the remaining force being supplied by the operator. The object thus feels lighter to the operator.
