SUBSTRATE TRANSFER SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17745595 titled 'SUBSTRATE TRANSFER SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a substrate transfer system that enables efficient distribution exchange between fabricating facilities. The system includes a lower rail, an upper rail, and a conveyor that intersect below the lower rail. There are also lower and upper transport units that unload carriers onto the conveyor. The conveyor consists of a linear module and a turning module to move and turn the carriers.
- The substrate transfer system allows for efficient distribution exchange between fabricating facilities.
- It includes a lower rail, upper rail, and a conveyor that intersect below the lower rail.
- There are lower and upper transport units that unload carriers onto the conveyor.
- The conveyor consists of a linear module and a turning module to move and turn the carriers.
Potential Applications
- Semiconductor manufacturing: The substrate transfer system can be used to efficiently transfer substrates between different stages of the manufacturing process.
- Electronics assembly: The system can facilitate the movement of electronic components during the assembly process.
- Material handling: It can be applied in various industries where the transfer of materials between different locations is required.
Problems Solved
- Inefficient distribution exchange: The system addresses the problem of slow and inefficient transfer of substrates or materials between fabricating facilities.
- Manual handling: It eliminates the need for manual handling of carriers, reducing the risk of damage or errors during transfer.
Benefits
- Increased efficiency: The system enables faster and more efficient distribution exchange, reducing production time and costs.
- Improved safety: By automating the transfer process, the system minimizes the risk of accidents or damage to substrates or materials.
- Flexibility: The system can be adapted to different types of carriers and can handle various sizes and shapes of substrates or materials.
Original Abstract Submitted
A substrate transfer system capable of performing efficient distribution exchange between fabricating facilities is provided. The substrate transfer system includes a lower rail, an upper rail which is located above the lower rail from a ground plane, and extends to be parallel to the lower rail, a conveyor which extends to intersect the lower rail and the upper rail, below the lower rail, a first lower transport unit which transports a first carrier along the lower rail and unloads the first carrier onto the conveyor, and a first upper transport unit which transports a second carrier along the upper rail and unloads the second carrier onto the conveyor, wherein the conveyor includes a linear module which moves the first carrier and the second carrier in a linear direction, and a turning module which turns the first carrier and the second carrier.
