Abstract

See full text

A system for processing surfaces of substrates having a process module having a process module frame and a plurality of process elements to process the substrate surfaces without contacting the substrate surfaces. A plurality of substrate holder assemblies, each having a number of substrate holders, each of which is removably coupled to the process module frame, each substrate holder configured to hold a substrate. The process module frame has alignment features aligning the substrate holders in the substrate holder assembly in repeatable alignment with respect to each of the process elements with each of the process elements located between the substrates. A loader module is configured to unload processed substrates from each of the substrate holder assemblies and load unprocessed substrates to each of the substrate holder assemblies. A transporter is configured to transport the substrate holder assemblies to and from the process module and the loader module.
