A controller upgrade represents a step forward, often times multiple steps forward. Integration from an analog or basic digital controller to a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) represents a significant lead in technology. Specific features of the PLC address the demands of high-volume, high-precision manufacturing: 1. Reliability and Maintenance Because the SRD is used more frequently than almost any other tool in the fab, downtime is incredibly expensive. The shift to a

Background – The role of a Spin Rinse Dryer is to clean wafers. Rotors, the apparatus used to hold wafer carriers (cassettes), are designed for the specific carrier. Typically, when production calls for a new wafer size or configuration, a new rotor is required. This results in an increasing rotor inventory to support the various carriers and the workforce tasked with removing and reinserting the rotor(s) during each changeover. Tired of swapping out rotors each time your w
