摘要:
Method and device for the heat treatment of flat substrates, wherein the substrates are positioned in the vicinity of a heated, essentially flat furnace body extending over the surface of the substrate. In order to provide a reproducible treatment when treating a number of substrates successively, the temperature of the furnace body is measured so close to the surface adjacent to the substrate that the withdrawal of heat from the furnace body by the substrate can be detected. The introduction of each substrate takes place at a point in time when the temperature measured in this way is, within certain limits, equal to a desired initial treatment temperature T trig .

A system for processing semiconductor wafers includes adaptations allowing the selective handling of cassettes for both 200-mm wafers and 300·mm wafers. The system is configured initially for handling standard 300·mm FOUP cassettes. Adaptions for handling 200·mm wafer open cassettes include a load port adapter frame for receiving such cassettes on a input/output platform; a cassette handler adapter configured for reversibly mounting on a cassette handler end effector and for receiving 200-mm open cassettes; a store adapter frame for converting 300·mm FOUP storage compartments into compartments for storing 200-mm open cassettes; and a Transhipment FOUP for holding 200-mm open cassettes upon a cassette transfer platform and bringing such cassettes into an interface with a wafer handler. The Transhipment FOUP has outer surfaces resembling a standard 300-mm FOUP cassette, but is configured to receive a 200-mm open cassette therein.

Storage assembly provided with a robot for placing cassettes, which are filled with wafers, in a carousel, comprising a number of magazines. These magazines lie both above one another and next to one another. In order to be able to determine the correct position of the head of the robot which holds the cassettes with respect to the magazines, it is proposed to provide sensor means which determine the vertical position of the head with respect to the base plate of the magazines and sensor means for determining the horizontal position of the head with respect to the magazines. This horizontal position is determined using openings arranged in the base plate of the magazines. In particular, a main opening and an auxiliary opening are present.

摘要:
Apparatus for transferring substantially circular article from a first unloading position to a second loading position. To obtain exact positioning in the second loading position means are proposed to compensate for misalignment of the article on a support arm portion. During movement of the support arm portion the position of the periphery of the circular article with regard to the support arm portion is detected. Based on that a correction of the movement of the support arm portion is generated.
