  • Publication number: 20120121816
    Abstract: A generally planar substrate pallet having an front, a back, and pair of sides. The distance between the front and the back and the distance between the sides are significantly longer than the thickness of the substrate pallet. The ratio of vertical deflection of the substrate pallet to the distance between the sides at temperatures used in high temperature processing systems relative to room temperature is less than 1%.

  • Publication number: 20120052201
    Abstract: Pallets suited to accommodate thermal gradients during processing. In one aspect, a pallet includes a pair of elongate members, a fixed elongate lateral cross member fixedly coupled to each of the elongate members, and an elongate floating lateral cross member floatingly coupled to the elongate members. The floating lateral cross member displaced from the fixedly coupled lateral cross member to define a gap therebetween.
