Abstract
Embodiments described herein provide an electrostatic carrier for transferring a substrate. The electrostatic carrier may have a transparent body. The transparent body may have a first surface sized to transport the substrate into and out of a processing chamber. The electrostatic carrier may also have one or more electrostatic chucking electrodes coupled to the transparent body. The one or more electrostatic chucking electrodes may include a transparent conductive oxide material. In certain embodiments the transparent conductive oxide material is an indium-tin oxide material.
