Claim 10:
11. A method of transporting a large area substrate in a substrate processing system, comprising:
moving the large area substrate into a first deposition module on a first transportation track of a vacuum orientation module, the vacuum orientation module comprising a vacuum chamber with a first pair of two slit openings at opposing side walls of the vacuum chamber along the first transportation track;
transferring the large area substrate through the vacuum orientation module on a second transportation track from the first deposition module towards a second deposition module, the vacuum chamber of the vacuum orientation module having a second pair of two slit openings at opposing side walls of the vacuum chamber along the second transportation track; and
moving the large area substrate into the vacuum orientation module from the second deposition module on the first transportation track.
