Pre Aligners
Wafer Aligner Field Proven in HVM Operations
Description
Kensington’s Pre Aligners have a long history of operation in semiconductor wafer fabrication. Several configurations of wafer aligners are available that support wafer sizes from 50 mm to 300 mm. The pre aligner technology is available in stand alone units as well as integrated directly into robots. The alignment technology is used for opaque as well as transparent materials and the wafer aligner supports substrates that are not round. Pre Aligners are used across the semiconductor equipment spectrum: Metrology Systems; Deposition Systems; Etch Systems; Reticle Process Systems; Thermal Processing Systems.
