FOUP Inspection System for 300mm FAB
FOUP Inspection System for 300mm FAB
The FOUP Inspection System equipment automates the inspection process for FOUPs (300mm wafers). The Inspection System provides more reliable control as well as being more complete and faster than in its manual version. It also gives more assurance that the next batch of wafers will be processed in a Semi-compliant FOUP. In its standard configuration, this equipment is capable of the following:
- Identifying the type of FOUP analyzed;
- Checking the correspondence between the hull and its door;
- Checking the absence of wafers or wafer/foup debris inside the shell before analysis;
- Checking the integrity of the FOUP opening System;
- Checking the position of the purge port filter;
- Checking the presence of the clamp;
- Counting and checking the position of the retainers on the door;
- Checking the integrity of the door seal;
- Checking the position of the door blocking strip;
- Checking that the door is properly clipped in the closed position.
