MULTI-FINGER ROBOT APPARATUS, ELECTRONIC DEVICE MANUFACTURING APPARATUS, AND METHODS ADAPTED TO TRANSPORT MULTIPLE SUBSTRATES IN ELECTRONIC DEVICE MANUFACTURING

Abstract:

Electronic device manufacturing apparatus and robot apparatus are described. The apparatus are configured to efficiently pick and place substrates wherein the robot apparatus includes an arm component and a blade component. The blade component may comprise two or more end effectors that can retrieve and place two or more substrates at a time. The apparatus can include multiple arm components and multiple blade components. Each blade component can comprise two or more end effectors to carry two or more substrates at one time. The blade components can move independent of one another or may be dependently connected.
