CARRIER FOR THIN GLASS SUBSTRATES AND USE THEREOF

摘要

A carrier for supporting a large area glass substrate having an area of at least 0.174 m² in a substrate processing chamber is described. The carrier includes at least one fixation element configured to hold the substrate at the substrate's upper side and configured to carry at least 60% of the substrate's weight during processing of the substrate, and at least one support portion adapted to hold the substrate at an essentially vertical orientation during processing of the substrate.
