Robot manufacturing solutions for semiconductors

The integration of automated robots is the solution to make wafer handling processes more efficient and reliable. Thanks to these robots, operators will no longer have to perform manual tasks such as gripping, loading and unloading. These tasks, which are repetitive, highly accurate and tedious, will subsequently be automated.

To gain operational efficiency and become more competitive, choose ATG Technologies semiconductor robot production solutions.

Benefits of automating handling and production processes

Semiconductor robot production solutions are a set of robotic and cobotic solutions that enable semiconductor handling and production processes to be automated. They meet the needs of the industries’ production facilities for reliability, repeatability and throughput.

Automating wafer production is advantageous when there is an increase in semiconductor requirements or a shortage. This is because robots provide high repeatability, which optimises productivity for the company. Together with the reduction in manufacturing costs, this increase in productivity makes the industry more competitive.

Furthermore, compared to manual operation, automated wafer handling, loading and unloading makes operations safer. Since they are carried out with great precision, errors and defect rates are significantly reduced. Robotic solutions also increase the availability of employees, as they are relieved of performing tasks that are too repetitive and have little added value. They can be assigned to other more rewarding and less strenuous jobs.

Robot solutions for semiconductors

ATG Technologies offers various robotic solutions for the perfect control of your semiconductor robot production processes.

The ATG Technologies Sideloader allows the the loading and unloading of your pods and foups to be automated. It can be deployed in areas where automated transport vehicles (AMHS) cannot operate and within the framework of modernisation projects of existing production units.

The Mobile Manipulator (Comobot™) is an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) used for the automated transport of foups and pods. Along with the automated sideloader, it is also used to extend the range of automated transport vehicles (AMHS) that cannot service certain areas.

ATG Technologies also designs and manufactures automatic loading systems for Mercury ISPs. This equipment can perform a variety of automated tasks, such as cassette/pod handling, wafer handling, recipe management, and pod storage and supply. The inspection machine is used to check the quality and integrity of the wafer transport boxes for pods (200mm) or foups (300mm). Finally, in partnership with its sister company Focussia, ATG Technologies offers tool automation software under the SECS/GEM protocol.

All these solutions for the production of semiconductor robots can be adapted to your constraints and to the specificities of your production units.
