Zusammenfassung:A transfer device is provided for substrate transfer along a transport direction and for change between a first transport path and a second transport path extending along the transport direction. The first transport path is displaced with respect to the second transport path in a switch direction perpendicular to the transport direction. The transfer device includes a first substrate support assembly defining a first track to support a substrate or substrate carrier in a chamber. The transfer device further includes a second substrate support assembly defining a second track to support a substrate or substrate carrier in the chamber. The first substrate support assembly and the second substrate support assembly are moveable relative to each other at least in the switch direction.
