    摘要: An OHT conveyer vehicle places a FOUP (110) on platforms (42a and 42b). A platform ( 61) is moving to a position overlapping with the platform(42a and 42b) by a moving device (63), and then to a position at which an upper surface of the platform (61) is above upper surfaces of the platforms (42a and 42b) by elevation device (62). Therefore, the FOUP (110) is placed on the platform (61). Subsequently, the platform (61) is moving to a position overlapping with platforms (14a and 14b) by the moving device (63), and then to a position at which the platform(61) is lower than the platforms (14a and 14b) by the elevation device (63). Therefore the FOUP (110) is placed on the platforms (14a and 14b).

    摘要: A transfer system (10) and method (figure 16) for moving an article (12) between a conveyor (14) and a workstation (16). The transfer system (10) includes an elevator system (60) having a lift device (64) configured to engage the article carried by a conveyor (14) and raise the article (12) above the conveyor (14). The lift device (64) is movable between a stand-by position with the lift device (64) positioned for the movement of articles (12) past the lift device (64) along the conveyor (14), and an actuated position with the lift device holding the article (12) above the conveyor. The transfer system (10) also includes a support assembly (62) for supporting the article (12) vicinal a workstation. The support assembly (62) including a shelf (120) for retaining the article (12) at the workstation (16) and a displacement mechanism (126) for moving the shelf (120) between the conveyor (14) and the lift device (64). The method (figure 16) includes moving a support (62) to engage the article (12) and lift the article (12) above the conveyor (14), extending a load port shelf (120) to the conveyor (14) and inserting the shelf (120) between the article (12) and the conveyor (14). After the shelf (120) is extended, the method (figure 16) includes moving the support (62) to deposit the article (12) onto the shelf (120), and after the step of moving the support (62), the method (figure 16) includes retracting the shelf (120) to the load port (22).

    摘要: A substrate such as a mask or wafer is transported while it is protected from a particle. Use of the substrate after transportation is facilitated. A container (300) includes a chuck (310) which chucks and holds a substrate (71) such as a mask or wafer, and a cover (320) which forms a storage space (108) together with the chuck (310). The substrate (71) is transported as it is held in the storage space (108) with the cover (320) being mounted on the chuck (310).

    摘要: A transfer system for use with a tool for treating a work-piece at sub-atmospheric pressure such as an ion implanter for implanting silicon wafers. An enclosure defines a low pressure region for treatment of work-pieces placed at a work-piece treatment station within the low pressure region. Multiple work-piece isolation load locks transfer work-pieces, one or two at a time, from a higher pressure region to the lower pressure for treatment and back to said higher pressure subsequent to said treatment. A first robot transfers work-pieces within the low pressure region from the load locks to a treatment station within the low pressure region. Multiple other robots positioned outside the low pressure region transfers work-pieces to and from the multiple work-piece isolation load locks from a source of said work-pieces prior to treatment and to a destination of said work-pieces after said treatment.

    摘要: A front opening semiconductor wafer container for large diameter wafers includes a container portion and a door. The container portion includes a left closed side, a light closed side, a closed back, an open front, and an open interior including a plurality of slots for receiving and containing the wafers. The door is attachable to the container portion to close the open front and selectively latchable to the container portion. The container portion includes a means for accommodating large diameter wafers, particularly 450 mm wafers. Optimized sag control is provided as well as enhanced structural rigidity, and wafer seating features.

    摘要: A transfer system (10) for moving one or more articles (12) between a conveyor (14) and a station (16). The system (10) includes a transfer assembly (10) having a lifting mechanism (62) configured to engage the article (12) as it is carried by the conveyor (14), lift the article (12) to a raised position above the support (60) and lower the article (12) from the raised position to the conveyor (14). The assembly (10) also includes a displacement device (114) configured to move the article (12) from the raised position to a station (16), position the article (12) at the station (16), and return the article (12) from the station (16) to the raised position above the conveyor (14). The system (10) also includes the method of transferring an article (12) between a conveyor (14) having a pair of spaced rails (116) and a station (16) positioned to one side of the conveyor (14). The method includes engaging the underside of the article (12) between the rails (116) and lifting the article (12) to a raised position and moving the article (12) in a direction perpendicular to the conveyor (14) between the raised position and a position vicinal the station (16).
