Methods, systems, and apparatus for a substrate transfer method, including positioning a tray handler device in a first position with i) cutouts of an aperture of the first tray in superimposition with respective pedestals of a pedestal platform and ii) a distal end of the pedestals extending away from a top surface of the first tray; increasing a distance between the top surface of the first tray and a top surface of the pedestal platform to transfer a first substrate from the pedestals to the tabs defined by the aperture of the first tray, while concurrently engaging the second tray handler with the second tray; and increasing a distance between the top surface of the second tray and the bottom surface of a chuck to transfer a second substrate from the chuck to the tabs defined by the second tray.
