    摘要： An apparatus for processing semiconductor wafers has an automatic robot for independently and simultaneously handling two wafers (W) at the same time on two separate transfer planes. The robot comprises a first arm assembly having a left and a right arm each mounted at one end for independent rotation in a first horizontal plane about a center vertical axis, the other ends of the arms being movably joined together and holding a blade on which a wafer can be carried, the arms being horizontally bendable near their centers so they can be folded to retract the blade toward the center axis and rotated to a desired angular position, the arms being extendable along a radius from the center axis by moving the arms together near their centers to bring the arms nearly parallel to each other and to extend the blade from the center axis by a maximum amount; and a second arm assembly substantially identical to the first assembly and rotatable in a second horizontal plane closely spaced above the first plane, the operation of the second assembly being substantially identical to that of the first assembly but independent thereof.

    摘要： In a first aspect, a wafer loading station adapted to exchange wafer carriers with a wafer carrier transport system comprises a biasing element adapted to urge the end effector of the wafer loading station away from a moveable conveyor of the wafer carrier transport system upon the occurrence of a unscheduled event such as a power failure or an emergency shutdown. In a second aspect, an uninterruptible power supply commands a controller to cause the wafer carrier handler to retract the end effector from the wafer carrier transport system upon the occurrence of the unscheduled event, and provides the power necessary for the same. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    摘要： In a first aspect, a substrate loading station is served by a conveyor which continuously transports substrate carriers. A substrate carrier handler that is part of the substrate loading station operates to exchange substrate carriers with the conveyor while the conveyor is in motion. A carrier exchange procedure may include moving an end effector of the substrate carrier handler at a velocity that substantially matches a velocity of the conveyor. A balancing mass is coupled directly or indirectly to a frame on which the substrate carrier handler is mounted and is adapted to accelerate in a direction opposite to the direction of end effector acceleration, as the end effector accelerates. Thus, inertial loads may be substantially balanced, and frame vibration reduced, despite potentially high rates of acceleration. Numerous other aspects are provided.
