    摘要： A movable portion of a substrate carrier handler is extended into a transport path along which a substrate carrier transport system transports a substrate carrier, respective kinematic coupling events are detected between corresponding interface elements of the movable portion and the substrate carrier, respective signals are generated in response thereto, and an alignment offset between the substrate carrier and the substrate carrier transport system is determined based on the signals. A movable portion matches an elevation, position, and/or a speed/velocity of a substrate carrier moving along the transport path. Sensors for detecting kinematic coupling and generating signals in response thereto are provided on the movable portion. An end effector includes a support with interface elements and sensors for detecting kinematic coupling and generating respective signals. A substrate carrier handler includes a movable portion, interface elements, sensors, and a controller for receiving signals and determining an alignment offset.

    摘要： A break-away mounting system for a continuous-motion, high-speed position conveyor system is disclosed. A support cradle may be suspended from a conveyor belt such that the support cradle maintains a fixed position and orientation relative to at least one point on the conveyor belt without inducing appreciable stress on the conveyor belt, the support cradle, or the coupling between the conveyor belt and the support cradle. The mount may include a leading rotatable bearing attached to the support cradle which may releasably engage a first key attached to the conveyor belt, the rotatable bearing adapted to accommodate rotational forces applied to the support cradle by the conveyor belt. The mount may also include a slide bearing attached to the support cradle which may releasably engage a second key attached to the conveyor belt, the slide bearing adapted to accommodate longitudinal forces applied to the support cradle by the conveyor belt.

    摘要： In a first aspect, a method of managing work in progress within a small lot size semiconductor device manufacturing facility is provided. The first method includes providing a small lot size semiconductor device manufacturing facility having (1) a plurality of processing tools; and (2) a high speed transport system adapted to transport small lot size substrate carriers among the processing tools. The method further includes maintaining a predetermined work in progress level within the small lot size semiconductor device manufacturing facility by (1) increasing an average cycle time of low priority substrates within the small lot size semiconductor device manufacturing facility; and (2) decreasing an average cycle time of high priority substrates within the small lot size semiconductor device manufacturing facility so as to approximately maintain the predetermined work in progress level within the small lot size semiconductor device manufacturing facility. Numerous other aspects are provided.
