Key Products/TechnologiesKeyProducts/Technologies
EFEM (Equipment Front End Module): Equipment for transferring wafers from FOUPs (Front Opening Unified Pods) to vacuum transfer modules (TM) or subsequent process equipment. The PHOENIX Series features optimized footprint design, FFU RPM/differential pressure mode compatibility, and the ability to configure PM-use ELEC RACKs on top of the EFEM. Models include PHOENIX-P200 (2LPM), PHOENIX-P300 (3LPM, with LINEAR TRACK MODULE), PHOENIX-P400 (4LPM, with LINEAR TRACK MODULE), and PHOENIX-P300-450 (450mm, 2LPM, expandable to 3LPM). The EFEM Software, developed in-house using C# and C++ on a Windows platform, supports equipment operation and a graphical user interface.EFEM(EquipmentFrontEndModule):EquipmentfortransferringwafersfromFOUPs(FrontOpeningUnifiedPods)tovacuumtransfermodules(TM)orsubsequentprocessequipment.ThePHOENIXSeriesfeaturesoptimizedfootprintdesign,FFURPM/differentialpressuremodecompatibility,andtheabilitytoconfigurePM-useELECRACKsontopoftheEFEM.ModelsincludePHOENIX-P200(2LPM),PHOENIX-P300(3LPM,withLINEARTRACKMODULE),PHOENIX-P400(4LPM,withLINEARTRACKMODULE),andPHOENIX-P300-450(450mm,2LPM,expandableto3LPM).TheEFEMSoftware,developedin-houseusingC#andC++onaWindowsplatform,supportsequipmentoperationandagraphicaluserinterface.
LPM (Load Port Module, FOUP Opener): A module where FOUPs containing wafers are placed, responsible for opening and closing the FOUP door. N2 Purge LPM is equipment that replaces contaminated air inside semiconductor process equipment with N2 gas, preventing wafer contamination and improving yield.LPM(LoadPortModule,FOUPOpener):AmodulewhereFOUPscontainingwafersareplaced,responsibleforopeningandclosingtheFOUPdoor.N2PurgeLPMisequipmentthatreplacescontaminatedairinsidesemiconductorprocessequipmentwithN2gas,preventingwafercontaminationandimprovingyield.
