    摘要: A method and apparatus provide for simultaneously moving multiple semiconductor wafers in opposite directions while simultaneously performing processing operations on each of the wafers. The semiconductor wafers are orientated in coplanar fashion and are disposed on stages that simultaneously translate in opposite directions to produce a net system momentum of zero. The die of the respective semiconductor wafers are processed in the same spatial sequence with respect to a global alignment feature of the semiconductor wafer. A balance mass is not needed to counteract the motion of a stage because the opposite motions of the respective stages cancel each other.

    摘要: A method includes establishing an initial shot layout in which a number of shots are arranged in vertically aligned columns and horizontally aligned rows to cover a semiconductor wafer. At least one of a row of shots or a column of shots is shifted relative to an adjacent row or column of shots to establish at least one additional shot layout that differs from the initial shot layout in that shots in the at least one shifted row or column of shots are not aligned with the shots in the adjacent row or column of shots with which they were aligned in the initial shot layout. One of the initial shot layout and the at least one additional shot layout is selected as a final shot layout. The wafer is exposed to light using the final shot layout.

    摘要: A wafer edge exposure module connected to a semiconductor wafer track system. The wafer edge exposure module includes a wafer spin device, an optical system, a scanner interface module, and a controller. The wafer spin device supports a wafer for processing. The optical system directs exposure light on a respective edge portion of the wafer simultaneously to create a dummy track on the edge of the wafer. The scanner interface module sends and/or receives dummy edge exposure information from a scanner via a computer network. The controller receives the dummy edge exposure information from the scanner interface module and uses the exposure information to control the optical system.

    摘要: A method includes receiving an integrated circuit chip size and determining a frame structure segment size based on the chip size. The frame structure segment size is less than the chip size. An initial shot layout having a chip count is established in which a number of shots, each including at least one frame structure segment and at least one chip, are arranged in vertically and horizontally aligned columns and rows. At least one additional shot layout is established in which at least one of a row or column of shots is offset from an adjacent row or column of shots. The initial shot layout is compared to the at least one additional shot layout, and a final shot layout is selected based in part on the total number of shots in the shot layout and has a final chip count that is greater than or equal to the initial chip count.
