• The wafer handling automation is not a new field
  it is known for many years, but several years
  ago, only the manual strategies were used to
  increase the performance of the semiconductors.
  Due to the latest technologies and new
  innovations, the leading manufacturer of wafer
  handling robots, Kensington Labs, has shown
  considerable interest in providing the customized
  services of automated and unique products such as
  SCARA Robots, pre-aligners, precision control
  motion stages, ADOs.

Semiconductor Front End

• There are 300mm edge grips in the semiconductor
  front end system and the beam technology to
  eliminate dust particles and contamination from
  the machine. They are also called as the single
  integrated circuits that take charge of the
  robots wrist installation and also manage the
  wafer placement.

Benefits of Using Taiko-style Wafer Front
End-Effector/Robots

• The Taiko process boosts the machines strength
  due to the present hole formation and
  distribution of bumps. 
• It comes with a complete integrated structure and
  a simple shape to eliminate the inside
  particles. 
• There is no edge chipping ensured by the
  Taiko-made semiconductor front end systems.

Techniques of Wafer Front End Robotics

• There are several types of robotics available
  from the manufacturer, like single wafer robots
  and Multi-Link SCARA wafer Robot. A business
  needs to select the robotic model because work
  processes change as per the size and the kind of
  systems used. 
• In the next step, the selected wafer front end is
  coupled with the chemical and mechanical forces
  for clearing the machines dust elements. 
• It is crucial to select the quality-made robot
  end-effectors as some products hold the critical
  risks of electric current leakage. It needs to be
  purchased accurately so that you get the desired
  services. The wafer front-end-of-line, which is
  capable of performing the box isolation
  technique, is considered as one of the stunning
  applications. 
• In order to maintain the flow of current, gate
  modules and the drain are used to complete the
  first portion of IC fabrication.

What is Wafer Cassette Mapping?

• The process of transferring and storing the
  semiconductor wafers in the cassette is
  called wafer cassette mapping. Wafer cassette is
  also called a wafer carrier as it gives the
  maximum protection to wafer against the dust,
  gaseous elements, nanoparticles, etc.

What are the Different Kinds of Wafer Cassettes
Online?

• The 6" and 8" wafer carriers are widely
  available, but they may vary as per the location
  and brand that one finalizes.

• It is not easy to find a wafer front
  end manufacturing as there is a wide range of
  robotics that are present online that look
  different in appearance but offer similar
  functionalities. You can choose one of the finest
  in the race- Kensington Labs.
