IC Inspection Wafer Loader NWL860/641

A host of top-notch features for advanced macro inspection needs
To support the latest wafer processes involving increased density, multiple layers, and progressively higher steps, this type enables various macro inspection functions including transport (micro inspection), pattern-side macro inspection, back-side center and periphery macro inspections. Users can select from three models—TMB, TM, and T—according to their needs. These models offer a variety of features, including non-contact centering controlled by photoelectric sensor to prevent contamination; a large, easy-to-read LCD control panel; and high throughput made possible by a multi-arm system that simplifies wafer loading and unloading; and support for both 150mm and 200mmø wafers.
A host of top-notch features for advanced macro inspection needs
The following features are added to enhance the macro functions of the TMB series:
• Stainless-steel body generates no static electricity
• Provided with an emergency stop switch (EMO)
• Vacuum chuck unit uses PEEK plastic so that the checked wafer is hardly scratched.
• Data communication function (optional) conforming to SEMI (SECS) standards
This wafer loader handling 150/100mmø wafers features compact size and easy operation
Simply use the touch keys on the control panel to perform the main operations of this wafer loader. A wealth of observation functions—such as high-speed wafer exchange of approximately 2 seconds and Nikon"s proprietary "fluttering" mode—offer comfortable, effortless macro inspections.
