Bernoulli Vacuum End-Effectors

The Bernoulli vacuum end-effectors (mBV series) are designed for back side handling of thin and warped wafers, e.g. for handling from the cassette to the pre-aligner.

 

Types according to wafer size:

  • 150 mm / 6” (end-effector mBV 150)
  • 200 mm / 8” (end-effector mBV 200)

 

Function:

The Bernoulli vacuum end-effectors use Bernoulli air-flow and vacuum one after the other. For flattening the warped wafer in the cassette a short burst of clean dry air (CDA) or nitrogen is applied to bring the wafer into the right position. Via vacuum the wafer is secured on the end-effector.

 

Features:

  • Wafer sizes: 150 mm (6”), 200 mm (8”)
  • For thin-wafers > 50 µm (2 mil)
  • Warped wafer handling (up to 12 mm warpage)
  • Back side handling
  • Bernoulli airflow and vacuum
  • Automated quick coupling
  • Automated loading and unloading of several mechatronic components
