MULTIPLE SEMICONDUCTOR DIE CONTAINER LOAD PORT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240162071 titled 'MULTIPLE SEMICONDUCTOR DIE CONTAINER LOAD PORT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a multiple die container load port that includes a housing with an opening, an elevator to accommodate different sized die containers, and a stage supported by the housing and moveable within the opening by the elevator. The stage includes positioning mechanisms to facilitate positioning of the die containers and different portions movable by the elevator to accommodate the different sizes. A position sensor is included to identify the positioned die containers.

  • Housing with opening
  • Elevator for different sized die containers
  • Moveable stage with positioning mechanisms
  • Position sensor for identifying die containers

Potential Applications

The technology could be applied in semiconductor manufacturing facilities where different sized die containers need to be loaded and unloaded efficiently.

Problems Solved

This innovation solves the problem of accommodating various sizes of die containers in a single loading port, reducing the need for multiple specialized ports.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include increased efficiency in handling die containers of different sizes, reduced downtime for reconfiguring equipment, and improved overall productivity in manufacturing processes.

Potential Commercial Applications

One potential commercial application of this technology could be in the semiconductor industry for loading and unloading die containers in fabrication facilities.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be automated loading systems for semiconductor manufacturing equipment that are designed to handle different types of materials but may not specifically address the issue of accommodating multiple sizes of die containers.

Unanswered Questions

How does the elevator mechanism adjust to different sizes of die containers?

The abstract does not provide detailed information on how the elevator mechanism is able to accommodate various sizes of die containers. Further explanation on this aspect would be helpful.

Are there any limitations to the number of different sized die containers that can be accommodated?

It is not clear from the abstract whether there is a limit to the number of different sizes of die containers that can be handled by this multiple die container load port. Clarification on this point would be beneficial.
