What is it?

Applications

The primary application of the GB4 is wafer handling in semiconductor fabrication equipment, including loading and unloading of wafers from FOUPs, SMIF pods, and other carriers. The robot is used in conjunction with pre-aligners, wafer ID readers, and mini-environment controllers. The GIFT software supports configuration of load ports, robots, pre-aligners, carrier and wafer ID readers, E84 interfaces, and mini-environment controllers.[1]
