    摘要: A centrifugal processor for processing flat media, such as silicon wafers, has a rotor rotatably mounted within a rotor housing. Fan blades on the rotor blow air over the wafers, to move any remaining fluid droplets away from the wafer centers, to allow centrifugal force to fling the fluid droplets off of the wafers. The centrifugal processor uses clean room air, rather than nitrogen, for drying. Operating costs are reduced while manufacturing yields are increased, as spotting at the wafer centers is avoided.

    摘要: An automated processing system has an indexer bay perpendicularly aligned with a process bay within a clean air enclosure. An indexer in the indexer bay provides stocking or storage for work in progress wafers or articles. Process chambers are located in the process bay. A transfer robot moves wafers from a pod unsealed at a docking station into a carrier at a transfer station. The carrier has tapered or stepped outside surfaces engaging corresponding inside surfaces on a rotor within a process chamber. A process robot moves between the indexer bay and process bay to carry wafers to and from the process chambers. The process robot has a robot arm vertically moveable along a lift rail. Wafers are carried offset from the robot arm, to better avoid contamination. The automated system is compact and requires less clean room floor space.

An indexer in the indexer bay provides stocking or storage for work in progress semiconductor wafers. Process chambers are located in the process bay: A process robot moves between the indexer bay and process bay to carry semi-conductor wafers to and from the process chambers.

The automated system is compact and requires less clean room floor space.

    摘要: A machine for cleaning containers has inside and outside arrays of nozzles arranged to spray a cleaning solution onto containers supported on a spinning rotor. Used cleaning solution is diverted to a reclaim tank for reuse, thereby allowing low-cost cleaning with concentrated chemicals, and with the creation of less liquid waste requiring disposal. In a method for removing contaminants from flat media or silicon wafer containers or carriers, a mixture of surfactant and de-ionized water is sprayed onto containers on a spinning rotor. The used cleaning solution is collected, filtered and reused.

    摘要: A cleaning system for cleaning boxes or containers used to carry semiconductor wafers has box holder assemblies and a box door holder assembly attached to a rotor within an enclosure. Upper and lower hooks on the box holder and box door holder assemblies hold boxes and doors as the rotor spins. Boxes and their doors, such as front opening unified pods (FOUP) are both efficiently cleaned and handled.

    摘要: A multi-speed, direct current motor (120) incorporates a high speed (24) brush disposed between the low speed (22) and the common ground (26) brushes and having a non-arcuate end face (25) which, unlike the conventional arcuate brush end face (23,27), is not subject to speed-drift erosion. The non-arcuate end face (25) is configured of two offset surfaces (55,65 & 57,67) which intersect to provide a line of contact (43) between the end face (25) of the high speed brush (24) and the commutator (40) which is displaced from the center line of the high speed brush (24) in a direction counter to the direction of rotation of the motor, that is toward the leading edge (21) of the brush (24). The intersecting surfaces (55,65 & 57,67) may comprise either flat planar surfaces or contoured surfaces.
