  • Publication number: 20230386828
    Abstract: A pre-treatment apparatus can be added as a module of a wafer track system, where the pre-treatment is designed to reduce friction at the edges of a substrate. Reducing edge friction can help prevent back side edge particles during attachment to a vacuum chuck in a subsequent processing operation that can occur, for example, in an exposure device. The pre-treatment apparatus can be configured to deliver one or more gases to treat top and/or bottom surfaces of a substrate. The pre-treatment apparatus can treat back side edges of a substrate to reduce edge friction of the substrate and to prevent overlay defects.
