MULTIPLE CHUCK SCANNING STAGE
First Claim
1. A substrate processing system, comprising:
- a stage;
first and second chucks mounted on the stage, wherein the first and second chucks are adapted to hold first and second substrates; and
at least one substrate processing head positioned proximate the stage adapted to process the first and second substrates,wherein the stage and processing head are configured for relative movement for a sufficient distance for the processing head to process both the first and second test substrates.

Abstract
A substrate processing system and method are disclosed. The system may include a stage, first and second chucks mounted on the stage and at least one processing head proximate the stage. The stage and processing head are configured for relative movement for a sufficient distance for the processing head to process both the first and second test substrates. According to the substrate processing method first and second substrates may be disposed on chucks mounted to a stage. The stage and a processing head may move relative to each other in a first direction along a first axis for a first distance that is sufficient for a substrate processing head to scan across the substrates, then move relative to each other along a direction nonparallel to the first direction for a second distance, and then move relative each other opposite the first direction for a distance sufficient for the head to scan across the substrates. The processing head may process the first and second substrates at one or more locations along the first distance and/or third distance.

19. An substrate processing method, comprising:
-
disposing first and second substrates on first and second chucks mounted to a stage; moving the stage and a single processing head relative to each other in a first direction along a first axis for a first distance that is sufficient for the optical head to scan across both the first and second substrates; moving the stage and the single processing head relative to each other along a direction nonparallel to the first direction for a second distance; moving the stage and the single processing head relative each other in a third direction that is opposite the first direction for a third distance that is sufficient for the optical head to scan across both the first and second substrates; and processing the first and second substrates with the processing head at one or more locations along the first distance and/or third distance. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
