Automated Wafer Handler up to 450mm

GPR-GB7S - Genmark Automation (Genmark Automation)

The GB7S Robot System employs Genmark’s breakthrough and patented GPR™ Technology to achieve the highest level of performance currently available in an automated wafer handler which is capable of handling up to 450mm diameter wafers. The patented GPR technology enables the servo-controlled robot to interface compliantly and intelligently with misaligned cassettes, FOUPS and process modules, as well as provide software-controlled end-effector deflection compensation during transport of heavier payloads. The unique and patented YAW technology feature of the GPR-GB7S Robot System enables it to access in-line process modules, FOUPS and cassettes from a fixed centralized location, and eliminates the need for radial placement of process and other stations around the robot. The GB7 Robot System can have various arm configurations to accommodate a wide range of SMIF/cassettes front-end layouts.
