    摘要: The invention includes mainly a machine base, a carrier, a sliding control mechanism, a latch mechanism, a horizontal shifting mechanism, and a lifting mechanism. The FOUP (front-opening unified pod) is put on the carrier and latched by a locking plate of the latch at an accurate position. The carrier moves forwardly to tightly engage the FOUP to a gate on an access at a backboard of the machine base, and thus a cover of the FOUP is opened by a headstock gear at the back of the gate then carried backwardly away from the FOUP by the horizontal shifting mechanism and lowered by the lifting mechanism. Reversely, the cover is closed on the FOUP. As such, the cover is loaded and opened automatically, as well as in closed, which can be a part of automation and prevents wafers from contamination.

    摘要: The present invention proposes an apparatus for loading and unloading wafers to and from the semiconductor fabrication equipment. The present invention uses two U-shaped port plate supporters of high rigidity to respectively join with drive devices such as lead screws, shaft bearings, and a lead device, and then join with components such as a port plate, a port door, and a base. The assembly is driven by a motor via timing pulleys, timing belts, idle wheels, a pair of lead screws, shaft bearings, and a lead device. An encoder is matched for feedback control. Thereby, accurate positioning of the main mechanism of the wafer pod responsible for upward and downward movement can be achieved so as to increase the accuracy and reliability of positioning transfer of wafers. Secondarily, the contamination of particles resulted from the motion of the main mechanism can be reduced by using an intake filtering system. Because the present invention adopts a modular design, the drive source of each unit is isolated and the circuit of each unit is hidden so that the whole structure is most compact and the assembling/disassembling and maintenance are easier.

    摘要: This invention uses the pattern-based signal to accelerate the evaluation process as a means to replace complicated computing procedures. This invention is constructed through implementing absolute coordinates to produce pattern-based signals by position and two optical sensor signals, and through conducting the feature extraction process. This process produces feature signals of sidelong and overlapped issues. Furthermore, through transforming signals, feature signals can be handled by the digital data processor. Thus, this invention can achieve the three main objectives of wafer mapping.
