    摘要: A multiple transport carrier docking device may be capable of storing and/or staging a plurality of transport carriers in a chamber of the multiple transport carrier docking device, and may be capable of forming an air-tight seal around a transport carrier in the chamber. Semiconductor wafers in the transport carrier may be accessed by a wafer transport tool while the air-tight seal around the transport carrier prevents and/or reduces the likelihood that contaminants in the semiconductor fabrication facility will reach the semiconductor wafers. The air-tight seal around the transport carrier may reduce defects of the semiconductor wafers that might otherwise be caused by the contaminants, may increase manufacturing yield and quality in the semiconductor fabrication facility, and/or may permit the continued reduction in device and/or feature sizes of integrated circuits and/or semiconductor devices that are to be formed on semiconductor wafers.

    摘要: In some implementations, a reeling device may receive material via a receiving end of a set of guiding blocks positioned around a reel. The set of guiding blocks are configured with an opening at the receiving end and with one or more inner surfaces configured to guide the material on a path around a surface of the reel. The one or more inner surfaces of the set of guiding blocks are arc-shaped to generally follow the surface of the reel. The reeling device may operate a motor that rotates the reel in a loading direction to facilitate loading the material onto the reel. The set of guiding blocks travel generally away from the surface of the reel based on the material being received and/or the motor operating in the loading direction.

    摘要: A system includes a loader tool to load a plate to which a sandpaper sheet is to be affixed to a surface of the plate. The system includes a sandpaper affixing tool to remove a liner from the sandpaper sheet to expose an adhesive surface of the sandpaper sheet, and to affix the sandpaper sheet to the surface of the plate using the adhesive surface of the sandpaper sheet. The system includes a flatness detector to determine whether a surface of the sandpaper sheet is sufficiently flat after the sandpaper sheet is affixed to the surface of the plate. The system includes an unloader tool to store the plate after the sandpaper sheet is affixed to the surface of the plate.
