TU Delft and VDL ETG T&D research contactless wafer handling for better chip production
APRIL 2024
Every time the robotic arm picks up a wafer for placement in the chip machine, very small particles are generated which are harmful for the chip production process. The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering from TU Delft is working on new generation wafer handlers that can handle wafers without particle generation. One of the new aspects of these handlers is a method that transfers wafers without mechanical contact. A new collaboration between TU Delft and VDL ETG T&D aims to further develop this technique to ultimately make the chip production process more efficient. (read more)
