A method of manufacturing substrates using a transport and handing-over arrangement for disc shaped substrates, including a carrier and a take-over arrangement. A substrate carrier of magnetisable material has a peripheral protruding rim. An untreated substrate lies in the substrate carrier below the rim. The substrate carrier is taken-over from the take-over arrangement by controlling a distance between a permanent magnet and the substrate carrier and transported from to a treatment station. The controlled drive of the permanent magnets in the take-over arrangement is performed by means of pneumatic piston/cylinder arrangements.

Transport and handing-over arrangement for disc-shaped substrates, vacuum treatment installation and method for manufacture treated substrates

A transport and handing-over arrangement for disc shaped substrates, comprising a carrier () and a take-over arrangement (). Both are moveable relative to each other. A relatively heavy substrate carrier () of magnetizable material is taken-over from the take-over arrangement () by distance control of a permanent magnet () at the take-over arrangement () or is returned therefrom to a carrier (). The controlled drive of the permanent magnets () in the take-over arrangement () is performed by means of pneumatic piston/cylinder arrangements ().
