摘要： This invention provides a method and a support device for a wafer transfer process which has a first vertical, second horizontal and third compound angled surfaces, as well as a pair of sidewalls all contiguously connected to one another. The third surface has at least two angled receiving surfaces whereby one of such angled receiving surfaces has a small angle of incline for initially receiving and delivering a wafer. The other angled receiving surface has a steep angle of incline for effectively receiving, holding and transporting a semiconductor wafer by increasing an effective coefficient of friction of the wafer to provide a secure resting point for such wafer during a transfer process while simultaneously increasing the speed thereof. Furthermore, a hole may be provided in the support device for attaching the support device, or a plurality of support devices having holes, to an end-effector.

摘要： A substrate handling robot includes an arm section and a wrist portion connected to the arm section. An end effector is connected to the wrist portion and is configured to support a substrate. A housing is arranged adjacent to the end effector and includes a gas outlet that directs gas onto an exposed surface of the substrate during transport.
