Abstract
A wafer transport system includes a substantially horizontal non-contact support platform for supporting a wafer substantially horizontally at a substantially fixed vertical distance from the platform. A wafer gripping device includes wafer grippers to grip a surface of the wafer that is opposite the non-contact support platform. Each of the wafer grippers is mounted on a vertically flexible holder to enable the wafer gripper to adapt to a height of the wafer above the wafer gripping device while maintaining a substantial horizontal rigidity of the vertically flexible holder so as to prevent horizontal motion of the wafer relative to the wafer gripping device.
