We design and construct dependable, industry-trusted semiconductor wafer handling systems for some of the top semiconductor manufacturers worldwide. Our wafer-handling expertise will guarantee the success of your next automation project, whether it be a wafer cassette mapping or a fully customized wafer-handling system.
What is Wafer Handling System?
A robotics system called an automated wafer handler is made to simplify and automate the handling of silicon wafers while producing semiconductors. To complete various manufacturing activities during the semiconductor production lifecycle, wafer handlers are integrated with semiconductor process tools.
As the robot enables the transport of wafers between process equipment, automated wafer handling systems can be found throughout various Back End of Line (BEOL) or Front End of Line (FEOL) manufacturing processes. Our goal is to offer you a solution that enables the efficient and safe transfer of your wafers during manufacturing.
A wide variety of automated wafer-handling solutions is available from Kensington Labs. Our solutions are extremely adjustable and tailored to match your unique requirements. They are based on our standardized wafer-handling automation platforms. The following basic elements make up a typical wafer-handling system. Components can be tailored to meet your wafer-handling demands based on how sophisticated or simple the solutions are.
Wafer Pre-Aligners
Before a wafer is shipped off for processing, it must be properly oriented using a system tool called a wafer aligner. The proper placement is essential to determine the degree of precision and productivity during manufacturing. It is possible to accept many different wafer flats and notches.
Wafer Handling Robot
The wafer-handling robot is the brain of any wafer-handling system. The robot makes wafer handling easier when used in conjunction with an appropriate end effector.
Wafer Carrier
During production, wafers are stored and transported using a wafer carrier. We encourage the incorporation of various wafer carriers and miniature settings.
Benefits of Wafer Handling Automation
We have the expertise to offer a solution that satisfies your demands, whether you are switching from manual wafer handling or looking for a wafer handling automation solution.
- Boost throughput and output
- Protect Expensive and Fragile Wafers from Damage
- Increased Reliability and Accuracy
- Increased Traceability and Quality Control
Conclusion
The semiconductor business is a rapidly expanding and rising sector with stringent requirements that suppliers must meet. So, here we are offering you the best quality solution to meet your specific demands according to your need.
