Wafer Pre-Aligners

• Wafer pre-aligner plays a vital role in wafer
  manufacturing. It positions wafers accurately
  before they get transferred onto the exposure
  platform. The positioning accuracy significantly
  affects the wafer's exposure accuracy and the
  whole manufacture system's work efficiency. The
  paper makes an overview of wafer pre-aligner from
  the following features mechanical structure,
  machine vision, working principle, and the
  algorithm on the detection of the wafer edge.

Wafer Automation

• The wafer automation's major role is to maximize
  the process control by keeping the inside
  elements safe from the outside elements such as
  dust. The silicon wafers or chips of electronic
  products trap the dust very easily. Dust can
  block the path and can reduce the functioning of
  the system. Here comes wafer automation to the
  rescue. It helps to eliminate these problems and
  provide the correct amount of chemicals in
  microchips to maintain inner hygiene.

Advantages

• Cost-Effective
• When we compare the manual equipment for
  semiconductors, we see that the mechanized wafer
  fabrication systems are highly cost-effective.
  There is a real-time functioning benefit, and the
  chemicals are at the optimum level needed for the
  machine to increase the production line's
  performance.
• Optical Sensing Abilities 
• The fully-automatic edge grip system is
  responsible for monitoring and performs the
  required functions. Maintaining the right
  position of the Integrated circuits is crucial,
  and if they are misplaced, one cannot achieve
  better results. By using sensors, the wafer
  handlers can provide the repeatability feature
  and increase the operating life.
• Seamless Data Logging
• It is possible to get the amenities of data
  logging with wafer handlers. It requires an
  Ethernet connection for achieving the filling
  service, easy-loading, and tracking the processed
  variables.

Stage Repair Services

• Stage repair services are powerful automatic
  motion controller products that can increase
  robots' lives without any difficulty. When it
  comes to reducing capital investment, these
  devices especially take care of noise and heat.
• Many stage repair systems are there in the
  market, but the most commonly used are Gantry
  precision control contract manufacturing
  equipment. It offers complete tailor-fit
  solutions that deliver a high range of speed.

6
Advantages

• From commercial to technical aspects, everything
  is achieved entirely by stage and repair contract
  manufacturing services.
• When the product is bought from a reliable and
  trustworthy manufacturer, you get a warranty on
  the product, and repair is done for free in that
  period. It saves you from the extra cost.
• Velocity and travel range like requirements can
  be fulfilled, and it presents the ultra-smooth
  operations without creating backlash linking.

Wafer Handling Front End System

• The wafer handling front end system is a single
  IC that is great for placing wafers by
  step-by-step methods. The first step involves
  fixing a new layer of the identical IC or die on
  the wafer. After that, it assists in making
  further modifications in the previous-used
  hardware design. Also, the front-end wafer
  handler implements the easy installation of a
  sturdy wrist. It incorporates the many individual
  devices in the semiconductor such as capacitors,
  transistors, resistors, etc.

Benefits

• When making the simple fabrication strategy, the
  wafer handling front end system provides a wide
  range of advantages. Some of them are mentioned
  below
• It comes in many types of robots, such as single
  wafer robots, multi-link SCARA wafer robots.
  These robots play a vital role by using
  mechanical and chemical forces to make the
  surface smooth and clean. 
• With wafer handling front-end effectors, there
  are no electric current leakage chances because
  it employs the box-isolation technique, which
  helps keep the device components secure and in
  excellent working condition. 
• It makes use of the drain modules, gate modules
  for circulating the proper flow of content in the
  circuits.
