Abstract
A system includes a stator, and a first carrier and a second carrier disposed over a horizontal surface of the stator. A plurality of electromagnetic coils are disposed in an array beneath the horizontal surface. The first carrier and the second carrier each include plurality of magnets arranged in an array and are configured to support a first substrate and a second substrate, respectively. A controller is configured to individually energize each of the plurality of electromagnetic coils, which causes the first carrier and the second carrier to levitate above the horizontal surface and independently move in a loop relative to the horizontal surface. The plurality of electromagnetic coils can apply a differential force to adjust a planar alignment of the first substrate or the second substrate, and a metrology tool can take one or more measurements of the first substrate or the second substrate.
