End effectors, also referred to as semiconductor handling "blades", are the robot's hand to handle and move semiconductor wafers between positions. So end effectors must be dimensionally precise and thermally stable, while having a smooth, abrasion-resistant surface to safely handle wafers without producing particulate contamination. In some cases, ESD-safe ceramics are used to prevent static buildup on the wafer surface.
