What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedWafer handling robots use programmable robotic arms equipped with vacuum or mechanical end-effectors to pick wafers from cassettes or chucks. A prealigner within the robot, or as an integrated module, uses optical sensors to detect wafer notch or flat and rotates the wafer to a consistent orientation before placement. The robot then transfers the aligned wafer to the next process station, such as a mask aligner or coater.
