  • Publication number: 20240112935
    Abstract: A system for glass substrate inspection, such as flat patterned media, includes an air table that holds the glass substrate. The air table includes chucks that emit gas as air bearings. A camera is disposed over the air table and moves in a direction across a width of a top surface of the glass substrate. An assembly includes a gripper and a probe bar configured to be transported under the camera. The gripper is configured to grip a bottom surface of the glass substrate opposite the top surface. The probe bar delivers driving signals to the glass substrate through a plurality of probe pins.
    Type: Application
