What it is

The Asyst SMIF-300 is a SMIF, isolation, and wafer management system for 300 mm wafer fabrication. The Asyst SMIF-300 was introduced in 1998. The SMIF-300 series used a SEMI-standard compliant building-block approach for integrating I/O, minienvironment, and buffer products throughout the fab. The SMIF-300 series was compatible with both 13 and 25 front-opening unified pods. The SMIF-300 series complied with all SEMI standards and all I300I industry guidelines. The SMIF-300 family included the SMIF-300FL, SMIF-300RL, and SMIF-300 Wafer Management System.[1][2]

How it works

The Asyst SMIF-300 Wafer Management System was a fully automated wafer transfer system. The Asyst SMIF-300 WMS featured a wafer handling system for rapid wafer transfer.[3]

Where it fits in the process flow

The Asyst SMIF-300 series was intended for shifting to 300 mm wafer fabrication and for integration throughout the fab on a tool-by-tool basis. The series integrated I/O, minienvironment, and buffer products into fab solutions.[1][2]

Applications

The Asyst SMIF-300 series was used for 300 mm wafer fabrication. The series supported minienvironment integration and buffer product integration throughout the fab.[1][2]

  • 300 mm wafer fabrication
  • minienvironment integration
  • buffer product integration
