Abstract:
1. A method of transferring substrates during electronic device manufacturing comprising: (a) providing an electronic device manufacturing system having: (b) while the first blade is empty, extending the first blade into the processing chamber at a first speed to retrieve a first substrate from a substrate support of the processing chamber; (c) transferring the first substrate to the first blade from the substrate support of the processing chamber; (d) while the first blade supports the first substrate, retracting the first blade from the processing chamber at a second speed that is slower than the first speed; (e) while the second blade supports a second substrate, extending the second blade into the processing chamber at the second speed; (f) transferring the second substrate to the substrate support of the processing chamber; and (g) retracting the second blade from the processing chamber at the first speed only a distance required to clear obstacles during rotation.
