Abstract
A system that may include a apertured structure that is configured to support a substrate and a vacuum supply unit that is configured to (i) prevent a supply of vacuum to a first area of the substrate during a first processing period during which the first area is processed and a second area of the substrate is not processed; (ii) provide vacuum to the second area during the first processing period; (iii) prevent the supply of vacuum to the second area during a second processing period during which the second area is processed and the first area is not processed; and (iv) provide vacuum to the first area during the second processing period.
Claims11
A system, comprising:
- an apertured structure that is configured to support a substrate;
- a vacuum supply unit that comprises multiple blocking modules and multiple positioning modules that are configured to determine positions of the multiple blocking modules;
- wherein the vacuum supply is configured to:
- prevent, by the multiple blocking modules, a supply of vacuum to a first area of the substrate during a first processing period during which the first area is processed and a second area of the substrate is not processed;
- provide vacuum to the second area during the first processing period;
- prevent the supply of vacuum to the second area during a second processing period during which the second area is processed and the first area is not processed;
- and
- provide vacuum to the first area during the second processing period.
