SUBSTRATE LOADING APPARATUS, SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT INCLUDING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A SEMICONDUCTOR PACKAGE USING THE SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18177300 titled 'SUBSTRATE LOADING APPARATUS, SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT INCLUDING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A SEMICONDUCTOR PACKAGE USING THE SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a substrate loading apparatus that includes a pickup apparatus, an elevator, a stage, and an insert apparatus. The pickup apparatus is capable of moving a magazine in three different directions. The elevator has multiple waiting spaces and can selectively receive the magazine. The stage supports the magazine, and the insert apparatus transfers substrates within the magazine. The pickup apparatus is positioned separately from the elevator and the stage in the third direction.

• The pickup apparatus can move the magazine in multiple directions.
• The elevator has waiting spaces to receive the magazine.
• The stage supports the magazine.
• The insert apparatus transfers substrates within the magazine.
• The pickup apparatus is positioned separately from the elevator and stage.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Semiconductor manufacturing: This substrate loading apparatus can be used in semiconductor manufacturing processes to load and transfer substrates efficiently.
• Printed circuit board assembly: The apparatus can be utilized in the assembly of printed circuit boards, allowing for precise loading and transfer of substrates.
• Optical device production: The technology can be applied in the production of optical devices, ensuring accurate and efficient substrate handling.

Problems solved by this technology:

• Improved substrate handling: The apparatus provides precise and controlled movement of substrates, reducing the risk of damage or misalignment.
• Increased efficiency: The ability to move the magazine in multiple directions and the selective receiving capability of the elevator enhance the overall efficiency of substrate loading processes.
• Space optimization: The separate positioning of the pickup apparatus allows for better space utilization within the substrate loading apparatus.

Benefits of this technology:

• Enhanced productivity: The efficient substrate loading and transfer capabilities of the apparatus contribute to increased productivity in manufacturing processes.
• Improved quality control: The precise movement and handling of substrates minimize errors and defects, resulting in higher quality products.
• Space-saving design: The separate positioning of the pickup apparatus optimizes space utilization, making the apparatus suitable for compact manufacturing environments.

Original Abstract Submitted

A substrate loading apparatus includes a pickup apparatus configured to move a magazine in a first direction, a second direction and a third direction, an elevator defining a plurality of waiting spaces, a stage configured to support the magazine, and an insert apparatus configured to transfer substrates in the magazine. At least one of the plurality of waiting spaces of the elevator is configured to selectively receive the magazine, and the pickup apparatus is spaced apart from the elevator and the stage in the third direction.
