IV. MANUAL TRANSFER MACHINE
   
Fig. MTM-1
Most auto loaders require constant, time consuming calibration by a highly trained technician. If not properly maintained, the auto loaders scratch and even break wafers. ASQ developed the MTM along with our patented angle slot boats to satisfy the needs of quality wafer transfer between cassettes and quartz or SiC boats.
  • No maintenance or calibration required - highly reliable.
  • Transfers 25 wafers from a cassette (Teflon or plastic) to a quartz or SiC boat, and vice versa.
  • Easy operation - no extensive training required.
  • Transfer takes less than 40 seconds.
  • No hands touch the quartz boat.
  • No wafer chipping, no scratching and no breakage.
  • Angle slot boats reduce particle contamination, enhance uniformity, throughput and yield.
  • Similar or better performance with one-tenth the cost of an auto loader.
