A processing chamber system includes a substrate mounting module configured to secure a substrate within a first processing chamber. The system also includes a first deposition module configured to apply a light-sensitive film to a front side surface of the substrate, and a second deposition module configured to apply a film layer to a backside surface of the substrate. The front side surface is opposite to the backside surface of the substrate. A substrate has a bare backside surface with a first coefficient of friction. A film layer is formed onto the backside surface of the substrate. The film layer formed on the backside surface of the substrate has a second coefficient of friction. The second coefficient of friction is lower than the first coefficient of friction.
