Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to methods and apparatus for processing substrates. More specifically, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to transfer apparatus and substrate-supporting members. In an embodiment, an apparatus for transferring a substrate is provided. The apparatus includes a hub and a plurality of transfer arms extending from the hub. The apparatus further includes a plurality of substrate-supporting members, wherein each of the transfer arms has a first end coupled to the hub and a second end coupled to a respective one of the plurality of substrate-supporting members. The apparatus further includes a first electrical interface connection for electrostatically chucking a substrate and located at a first position on each substrate-supporting member, and a second electrical interface connection for electrostatically chucking the substrate and located at a second position on each substrate-supporting member. Substrate processing modules are also described.
