Abstract
An apparatus including a linear transport configured to move in a transport chamber along a straight path; a robot connected to the linear transport, where the robot includes a robot drive and a robot arm connected to the robot drive, where the robot arm is a dual-link arm having a first link connected to the robot drive and a second link forming an end effector for supporting a substrate thereon; a controller connected to the linear transport and to the robot drive, where the controller is configured to provide movement of the linear transport along the straight path at a same time as extension and retraction of the dual-link arm to thereby move the end effector into or out of a substrate process chamber or a substrate holding area while both the linear transport and the dual-link arm are moving.
