ABSTRACT:
A kinematic pin and a substrate carrier adapted to deter dislodgment of the substrate carrier from the kinematic pin are provided. A shear member on the kinematic pin interacts with a shear feature of the substrate carrier to deter lateral movement of the substrate carrier relative to the kinematic pin. A substrate carrier handler that employs the kinematic pin is also provided.
