Laser Marking Systems:-

LaserScribe: Manually-Loaded Pallet (MLP) Laser Marker

The LaserScribe Manually-Loaded Pallet (MLP) is designed to laser mark components mounted in a manually-loaded, removable fixture ("pallet"). It is especially suited to all sizes of silicon wafers when mounted in the custom built wafer holder. Information such as wafer ID and lot numbers are possible as well as barcodes and serial numbering. .

Operation
The LaserScribe MLP uses a Windows-style CAD program, which takes a minimal amount of training. Once the operator has set the mark, he merely loads a pallet of devices/wafer into the marker cabinet and presses the "fire" key. When marking is done, the operator will remove the pallet, replace it with another, and press fire again. Every LaserScribe system is equipped with a modem and PCAnywhere software to allow remote control of the laser control computer. This allows service technicians to remotely diagnose problems with the laser and even operate the laser from a remote location.

There are many configurations and options available. Please contact us for further information or if you require brochures, CDROM or prices.

For 20 years Faith Enterprises have been designing and manufacturing semiconductor mass wafer transfer systems. Faith Enterprises has been dedicated solely to manufacturing wafer transfer systems, and continuous research into improving their products. Simplicity and dependability have been the foundation of their success. Because of this philosophy, the reliability and cost effectiveness of their systems have always led the way in the wafer transfer industry.

The Rapitran II series of wafer transfer systems performs up to four standard transfers: 50-wafer load/unload, 25-wafer load/unload, boat to boat transfer, cassette to cassette transfer.

Faith design and build automated wafer sorting and wafer handling systems and processes for integrated robotic environments. One unique advantage of our system is the availability of built in flat or notch aligning.

For several years Faith Enterprises have worked with wet process equipment companies to automate their products. They have used both SECS and parallel I/O interfaces for communication with the host computer. Fortunately, the basic design of the Rapitran is already well suited to an automated environment so special requirements are very easily adaptable.

The Faith Enterprises Product Range includes:

THE RAPITRAN II:

THREE STATION, 50 WAFER TRANSFER SYSTEM

The Rapitran II 50 wafer transfer system performs four standard transfers:
1) 50-wafer load/unload
2) 25-wafer load/unload
3) Boat to boat transfer
4) Cassette to cassette transfer

TWO STATION, 25 WAFER TRANSFER SYSTEM

The Rapitran II, 25 wafer system performs three standard transfers:
1. 25-wafer load/unload
2. Boat to boat transfer
3. Cassette to cassette

The Rapitran Micro - 25 Wafer Transfer System
The Rapitran Micro is ideal for replacing slide or dump transfer methods where a cleaner transfer is required.

The 50X2 Wafer Transfer System
The Rapitran II, 50X2 Wafer Transfer System will transfer a load of 50 wafers from two plastic cassettes into a quartz boat or specified carrier and back again. Its unique design saves valuable clean room space while providing a safe reliable transfer.

The 50X2B Back to Back Wafer Transfer System
The Rapitran II 50X2B Wafer Transfer System will gently transfer wafers in a proximity back to back position using most quartz boat styles.

The Eclipse Wafer Sorting System

OEM SYSTEMS

Rapitran II 50 Wafer Transfer System
The Rapitran 50 Wafer Transfer System for wet bench applications has several different characteristics apart from our standard three station model.

Rapitran II 100 Wafer Transfer System
The Rapitran II 100 Wafer Transfer System is designed to be compatible with Asyst and Jenoptic SMIF robots.
