Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for mounting a material (1) on a carrier (6) are provided. To this end, the material is arranged on a porous layer (2) of an air bearing arrangement (2, 3).
Claims23
A method, comprising:
- placing a material on a surface of a porous layer of an air bearing arrangement, the surface of the porous layer being configured to be complementary to a surface of a carrier;
- and
- arranging the carrier on the material arranged on the surface of the porous layer,
- wherein the method further comprises at least one of the following:
- before arranging the carrier on the material, applying negative pressure to the air bearing arrangement to suction the material;
- and
- after arranging the carrier on the material, applying overpressure to the air bearing arrangement to release the carrier from the air bearing arrangement,
- wherein the method further comprises exposing the material to radiation to produce a holographic structure in the material and/or a grating structure in the material.
