Automated Wafer Transfer and Buffer Station for Photovoltaic Silicon Wafers

Introduction | Technical Data | Literature

Example Batch to Inline 1
  • Manual loading with automatic position correction and transfer into following system
  • Automatic transfer of previous system to
    following conveyors or buffering into ACI cassette or stacker boxes
  • Transfer capacity 1,500 wafers/hour
  • Wet bench final clean

Example Batch to Inline 2

  • Automatic transfer from ACI
    cassettes into wet isotexture or PSG
  • Automatic transfer of wet isotexture
    or PSG into ACI cassette or
    stacker boxes
  • Automatic transfer from or to
    previous or following system
  • Transfer capacity 3,000 wafers/hour

Example Inline to Inline

  • Automatic transfer from PSG into PECVD tool
  • Unloading from clocked or continuous parallel conveyors with direct
    transfer to PECVD tool
  • Intermediate storage capacity by cassette 500 to 1,000 wafers with feed
    in or feed out capability
  • Transfer capability of 1,500 or 3,000 wafers/hour


Example Inline to multiple Inline

  • Automatic transfer between multiple inline systems
  • Transfer from clocked or continuous parallel conveyors to multiple parallel or single conveyors
  • Optionally intermediate storage with feed in or feed out capability
    can be easily retrofit
  • Transfer capability up to 3,600 wafers/hour
