Highlights of Exhibition

Wafer warpage solutions

Application area:

As semiconductor processes advance, wafer and substrate warpage often occurs in metrology, wafer bonding, and advanced packaging. Although contact (pressing) solutions exist, they face limits in space and process needs. Festo offers a new non-contact solution.

This solution combines Festo digital and piezo technologies for precise pressure control. We also work closely with customers to develop complete solutions, tackling warpage challenges together.

Highlights of application:

  • Proportional pressure control valve terminal VTEM/VTEP (positive and negative) and Festo patented control technology for precise multi-channel pressure control
  • Valve terminal VTUX with multi-channel vacuum switch control and various communication protocols to maximize integrated control, data feedback, and digital functions
  • Proven successful cases with the ability to co-develop customized solutions with customers
  • Providing chuck design concepts and recommendations to speed up customer design timelines and shorten validation time

Advanced packaging process solution for dispensing adhesive and laminating heat sinks

Application area:

The runner is transported to the glue coating area for coating. The coated product is then transported to the hot pressing station through the runner for heat curing, pressing and bonding of the product and glue. Closed loop force control is used. The module can accurately control the pressing force and protect the product.

Highlights of application:

  • 1 valve terminal VTEP controls all system required pressure (if possible). We can also use VEAB with maniple
  • Pick and place to control vacuum with accuracy and also detect the failure of the suction cup
  • Glue to show high accuracy of air pressure supply for glue.
  • Pressing to show high accuracy of pressing force
  • With support of AX, it can easily monitor cylinder health rate

Semiconductor front-end process equipment solutions

Application area:

Temperature control devices such as platform cooling used in sputtering and etching processes require high-precision temperature stability.

Highlights of application:

  • Chiller Block capability to -60 degree with special angle valve
  • Interlock valve system to prevent gas mix
  • Digital information and physical information separate from system
  • High accuracy control for iso Valve through valve VEAB

Gate valve advanced motion control solution

Application area:
load-lock chamber / handling system / process chamber

Highlights of application:

  • Significantly reduce the impact force generated when the door valve is switched
  • The application program achieves the control of multiple valves in a single component
  • High repeatability through digital parameter set
  • Easy to trace - ideal for Industrial IoT

Customized solution:
In the semiconductor industry EFEM wafer transfer equipment, the motion terminal system and the precise piezo control technology applied to FOUP carriers for inert gas filling offer an effective solution to reduce the impact force of slit/gate valves when closing. This minimizes particle generation and vibration, significantly improving yield and extending the lifespan of valves.

Special gas supply and chemical polishing gas control unit

Application area:

Semiconductor (both special gas supply and chemical polishing gas control units are used in the semiconductor front-end processes)

Highlights of application:

Without the need for a power source, the gas supply to the gas cylinder can still be cut off; Adopting special OR valve design to ensure uninterrupted system control; Hot swappable function allows for the replacement of solenoid valves without the need to turn off the air supply.

Customized sulution:

  • Customized manual safety circuit with multi-channel control using manual valves and logic valves, while also having a more compact design.
  • The specially designed manual energy storage gas cylinder switch system not only retains manual operation mode, but also can automatically shut off gas cylinders without any power source.
  • A simple customized cylinder driven red indicator saves space while ensuring operational safety.

MFC (Mass Flow Controller)

Application area:
Load Port / Slide Track Buffer / OHC Purge System / FOUP Stocker

Highlights of application:
In the N2 Purge system, Festo various sensors and flow controllers cooperate to achieve system integration design, and accurate flow control is achieved through accurate proportional control of piezoelectric valve, and data is achieved through communication.

Customized solution:

  • Piezo valve design for precise flow control, offering multiple flow ranges: 200 / 100 / 50 / 20 LPM
  • Integrated modular design combines vacuum humidity detection with precise flow control
  • RS485 communication and analog signal
