CARRIER APPARATUS AND METHODS OF PROCESSING A CARRIER APPARATUS

A carrier apparatus includes an article including a first major surface, a second major surface, a thickness between the first major surface and the second major surface, and an outer edge extending across the thickness between the first major surface and the second major surface. The carrier apparatus includes a coating including a central portion disposed on the first major surface of the article and an outer exposed portion disposed on the outer edge of the article, and a gasket including a first surface contacting the coating. An outer interface between the first surface of the gasket andthe coating defines an outer boundary isolating the central portion of the coating from the outer exposed portion of the coating. Methods of processing a carrier apparatus to remove at least a portionof the coating from the article are also provided. 一种包含制品的托架设备，所述制品包括第一主表面、第二主表面、在第一主表面与第二主表面之间的厚度，以及在第一主表面与第二主表面之间的厚度上延伸的外边缘。所述托架设备包括涂层和衬垫，所述涂层包括设置在制品的第一主表面上的中心部分以及设置在制品的外边缘上的外部暴露部分，所述衬垫包括接触涂层的第一表面。衬垫的第一表面与涂层之间的外部界面限定了外边界，其将
