<p>A wafer handler having a central body with a first end and a central axis of rotation is provided. A first end effector, adapted to support a first wafer, is rotatably coupled to the first end of the central body so as to define a first axis of rotation between the central body and the first end effector. Optionally, a second end effector adapted to support a second wafer is rotatably coupled to the second end of the central body so as to define a second axis of rotation between the central body and the second end effector. When the central body is rotated about the central axis of rotation in a first direction over a first angular distance, the first end effector simultaneously rotates about the first axis of rotation and the optional second end effector rotates about the second axis of rotation. Both end effectors are rotated over a second angular distance that is greater than the first angular distance. One or more of the end effectors may be pocketless.</p> |
