摘要: A flat workpiece transport apparatus having a movable arm and an end effector. The end effector is connected to the arm. The end effector has a movable grip for holding a flat workpiece on the end effector. The end effector has a grip actuator operably connected to the movable grip. The grip actuator has more than one actuation members and a resiliently flexible member connecting the more than one actuation members. Each actuation member actuates at least one corresponding grip element of the movable grip to capture or release the workpiece. Flexure of the resiliently flexible member effects movement of at least one of the more than one actuation members for actuation of the at least one corresponding grip element. The resiliently flexible member is sandwiched by substantially rigid portions of the more than one actuation members.

摘要: A semiconductor workpiece processing apparatus having a first chamber, a transport vehicle, and another chamber. The first chamber is capable of being isolated from an outside atmosphere. The transport vehicle is located in the first chamber and is movably supported from the first chamber for moving linearly relative to the first chamber. The transport vehicle includes a base, and an integral semiconductor workpiece transfer arm movably mounted to the base and capable of multi-access movement relative to the base. The other chamber is communicably connected to the first chamber via a closable opening of the first chamber. The opening is sized to allow the transport vehicle to transit between the first chamber and the other chamber through the opening.

摘要: A substrate processing apparatus is provided with a substrate transport apparatus. The transport apparatus is used for automating alignment of the processing apparatus. In one aspect, a through-beam sensor on the transport apparatus is used to level parts of the processing apparatus. In another aspect, a through-beam sensor on the transport apparatus is used to determine the locations and angular orientations of substrate stations within a plane. In another aspect, the transport apparatus teaches itself the accurate location of a substrate aligner by repeatedly placing the substrate on the aligner, recording positional data, constructing a cost function, and determining the location of the aligner by minimizing the cost function using a numerical technique.
