EVG®320

Automated Single Wafer Cleaning System

Automated single wafer cleaning system for efficient removal of particles

The EVG320 automated single wafer cleaning system handles wafers and substrates automatically between the process stations. The robot handling system ensures pre-alignment and loading of the wafers automatically in a cassette-to-cassette or FOUP-to-FOUP operation. Besides Di-water rinse, configuration options include megasonic, brush and diluted chemicals cleaning.

Features

  • Up to four cleaning stations
  • Fully automated cassette-to-cassette or FOUP-to-FOUP handling
  • Edge handling for double-sided cleaning processes available (option)
  • High-efficiency cleaning using 1 MHz megasonic nozzles or area transducers (option)
  • Advanced remote diagnostics
  • Prevents cross-contamination from back to front side
  • Fully software controlled cleaning process
