摘要:
A method, a system and a computer readable medium for three dimensional packaging with wafer-level bonding and chip-level repair. A first wafer is provided having a first plurality of chips. A second wafer is provided having a second plurality of chips. At least one chip is removed from the second wafer while retaining the relative alignment of the remaining chips in the second wafer. The first and second wafers are aligned and joined with wafer-to-wafer techniques. Where a bad chip having a relative physical position within the second wafer corresponding to a relative physical position within the first wafer of a good chip is removed, a good chip may be aligned and bonded to the first wafer using die-to-wafer techniques.

Electronic device manufacturing systems and methods are provided. In some aspects, a system having a dual-mode robot is provided which is disposed within a system component (e.g., a factory interface or transfer chamber) and adapted to operate in a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode, the robot may transfer a substrate between components of the system (e.g., between a carrier and a process chamber or chamber to chamber) and in the second mode, the robot may execute a process motion profile (e.g., metrology).

A method, a system and a computer readable medium having a set of instructions stored thereon for die-to-robot alignment for die-to-substrate bonding are described. First, a robot is aligned with a substrate to provide a pre-aligned robot. Next, a die is aligned with the pre-aligned robot to provide a robot-aligned die. Finally, the robot-aligned die is bonded to a region of the substrate. The substrate is held stationary immediately following the aligning of the robot with the substrate and at least until the robot-aligned die is bonded to the region of the substrate.

摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention generally provide an apparatus and method for transferring substrates in a processing system (e.g., a cluster tool) that has an increased system throughput, increased system reliability, improved device yield performance, a more repeatable wafer processing history (or wafer history), and a reduced footprint when compared to conventional techniques.
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:
The present invention generally provides an apparatus and method for processing substrates using a multi-chamber processing system (e.g., a cluster tool) that is easily configurable, has an increased system throughput, increased system reliability, improved device yield performance, a more repeatable wafer processing history (or wafer history), and a reduced footprint. In one embodiment, the cluster tool is adapted to perform a track lithography process in which a substrate is coated with a photosensitive material, is then transferred to a stepper/scanner, which exposes the photosensitive material to some form of radiation to form a pattern in the photosensitive material, and then certain portions of the photosensitive material are removed in a developing process completed in the cluster tool.

In one aspect, a substrate loading station for a processing tool includes plural load ports. Each load port is operatively coupled to the processing tool and has a mechanism for opening a substrate carrier. A carrier handler transports substrate carriers from a factory exchange location to the load ports without placing the carriers on any carrier support location other than the load ports. Numerous other aspects are provided.
