Abstract
Substrate transfer robot blades used to engage and support a substrate during transfer include a blade body having a blade support surface and at least one pad having a top surface and an opposite bottom surface, a central opening extending from the top surface to the bottom surface, and a resilient portion formed from the at least one pad. The resilient portion formed from the at least one pad extends from and cantilevers from a side surface of the central opening of the at least one pad that is disposed directly on the side surface at the end of a long axis of the resilient portion. The resilient portion further includes a curved substrate contact surface on an outermost end of the resilient portion on which a substrate is supported when disposed on the substrate transfer robot blade.
