Patent attributes
Embodiments herein generally relate to inspection systems for substrates or wafers for solar cell applications. The inspection system is configured to analyze substrates or wafers for chips, cracks, and other defects. The system includes conveyor apparatuses, and the conveyor apparatuses include one or more conveyor elements. The conveyor elements are configured to transport rectangular wafers having a width between about 175 mm to about 250 mm. The conveyor elements include a first conveyor belt and a second conveyor belt to transport the substrates. The spacing of the belts reduces vibrations of the substrate edge.
