Abstract
An end effector includes first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh substrate support pads. A method of handling a substrate with the end effector in a substrate processing system includes engaging a peripheral edge of the substrate with the second, fifth, and sixth substrate support pads. The method also includes moving the end effector a first distance into a processing chamber of the substrate processing system. The method further includes disengaging the peripheral edge of the substrate from the second, fifth, and sixth substrate support pads. The method additionally includes moving the end effector a second distance into the processing chamber of the substrate processing system, and engaging the peripheral edge of the substrate with the first, third, fourth, and seventh substrate support pads.
