    摘要: A pellet picking apparatus for separating a pellet adhered on an adhesive sheet from the sheet and picking the pellet thus separated is provided, which prevents the pellet from being damaged during the pellet picking process without lowering the productivity. This apparatus comprises (a) a stage having a surface with which a lower face of the adhesive sheet is contacted; the pellet being adhered on an upper face of the sheet; the stage having a suction hole that pulls down the sheet; the suction hole having a suction end to be contacted with the sheet on the surface of the stage; the stage being movable in a horizontal plane with respect to a specific reference position; and (b) a collet for holding the pellet by a suction force; the collet having a suction end to be contacted with the pellet; the collet being capable of holding the pellet by the suction force at the suction end. When the sheet is placed on the surface of the stage in such a way that the pellet on the sheet is located at the reference position, the collet is controlled to hold the pellet by the suction force at the suction end and at the same time, the stage is controlled to hold the sheet at the suction end of the suction hole and to be moved in the horizontal plane with respect to the reference position to thereby detach the sheet from the pellet. The collet is controlled to pick the pellet thus detached from the sheet.

    摘要: A sensor device, for diagnosing a processing system, generally includes a support platform and one or more sensors mounted on the support platform. The sensor senses a condition, such as direction or inclination or acceleration in one or two axes, of the sensor device and outputs a signal indicative thereof, which is then sent to a transmitter, also mounted to the support platform, for wireless transmission of the signal to a receiver mounted on or near the processing system. The support platform generally has physical characteristics, such as size, profile height, mass, flexibility and/or strength, substantially similar to those of the substrates that are to be processed in the processing system, so the sensor device can be transferred through the processing system in a manner similar to the manner in which production substrates are transferred through the processing system.

    摘要: A wafer chuck for positioning and releasably holding a wafer includes a support platform having an upper surface for positioning and supporting the wafer. Wafer banking pins are affixed to the support platform for positioning the wafer. A lift device acting on the wafer when it rests on the support platform to move the wafer relative to the support platform in a slanted direction away from the support platform and wafer banking pins. The lift device has a plurality of wafer lifting fingers that cooperatively extend in a biased and substantially vertical direction are disposed in a pattern to be supportive of the wafer. Each of the wafer lifting fingers has an end portion that is movable relative to the support platform between a first position at which it is retracted from the upper surface of the support platform and a second position at which it protrudes from the upper surface of the support platform so as to engage the wafer to lift it relative to the support platform.
