ABSTRACT:
A substrate inspection system includes two or more inspection modules supported on a plate. A chamber is supported beneath the plate by a translation system, which is configured to provide horizontal displacement of the chamber under the plate to permit loading and unloading of a substrate to/from the chamber. Thus, when the chamber is in a loading/unloading position it is at least partially uncovered from the plate. The translation system may be further configured to provide vertical displacement of the chamber with respect to the plate so as to position an upper surface of a wall of the chamber in close proximity to a lower surface of the plate when the chamber is in an inspection position. In such a position, the upper surface of the wall of the chamber and the lower surface of the plate may be separated by an air gap.
