Evaporation process tools often utilize spherical carriers and rings to meet uniformity and defectivity targets. However, the design of these tools has made it challenging to introduce automated wafer handling in this step of the manufacturing process. IDMs invariably default to manual wafer loading, which has resulted in yield degradation and an increased risk for misprocessing.

 

Key features of the mWL.cs mechatronic calotte loader include:

Superior handling accuracy and repeatability — hand-off position measurement and auto-
teaching capabilities (<50µm)

Improved process traceability — host notification of Wafer ID, Cassette ID, Segment ID, and
position in the segment

Redundancy —

loading areas for continuous processing

Impressive transfer times — high throughput of up to 240 wph that enables ROI within two
years
Dual size handling — customizable to handle 4”, 6”, 8”, or 6” & 8” (dual size)

Small footprint — less than
