MicroTech Delivers Automated Wafer Process System to Semiconductor Manufacturer in Texas

Custom Designed, High Throughput Lift Off System Demonstrates Increased ROI


FREMONT, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 24, 2013) - A major Texas semiconductor manufacturer has purchased from MicroTech an ORCA Fully Automated Intelligent Process System (IPS) because of its ability to process wafers in a high throughput environment.

The wafer process system was specifically designed for a high throughput metal "lift off" application. Because of the custom designed process configuration, initial throughput data indicates a six fold increase in wafer throughput and increased ROI.

The 200mm fully automated ORCA IPS includes:

  • MicroTech 5500 multi-tasking, GUI-based, touch screen, recipe controlled software
  • MicroTech 5000 two axis linear transfer robot
  • Ultrasonic process for continuous, high energy cleaning
  • Temperature controlled recirculation of chemicals for reduced chemical usage
  • Modular design for flexibility and ease of modification
  • Bulk chemical supply interface

The automated wafer process system was delivered and installed and is currently going through final start-up qualification.
