APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SEPARATING AND TRANSPORTING SUBSTRATES

The invention particularly relates to separating and transporting a disk-shaped substrate (102; 202), such as a solar wafer. The invention is characterized in that separation steps are performed within a fluid and that adhesive forces develop between a gripper (108; 208) and the substrate to be sepa...

Zusammenfassung:	The invention particularly relates to separating and transporting a disk-shaped substrate (102; 202), such as a solar wafer. The invention is characterized in that separation steps are performed within a fluid and that adhesive forces develop between a gripper (108; 208) and the substrate to be separated (102; 202) due to a thin fluid film, the forces enabling adhesion to the gripper (108; 208). Due to the removal transversely to the feed direction (105; 205) or particularly parallel to a flat extension of the substrates (102; 202), a very gentle and efficient separation of disk-shaped substrates (102; 202) at a high cycle time is achieved.
