Compact semiconductor line-up have a one standardized chassis in Minimal format with size 300mm x 450mm × 1440mm (WxDxH), robotic loading system for wafer, control system and connection method for all devices:

(1) Control interface and PC.
(2) Loading place for Minimal Shuttle.
(3) PLAD system for wafer transfer from Minimal Shuttle to process chamber into the tool side.
(4) Process chamber and storage unit of consumables.
(5) External connection unit.
(6) Storage unit for used consumables.

Unified external connection unit: for all Minimal tools:

A robotic and unified transport system PLAD (Particle Lock Air-tight Docking) was developed for the substrate transferring to all Minimal tools.

Depending on type of equipment and technology process there are two docking systems: atmospheric type and high-vacuum type.

The Minimal Fab tools does not require a cleanroom. Instead the wafer is placed in a secured, clean-room-like container (termed as the “Minimal Shuttle”) and it load into process chamber by means docking PLAD system.

Thus the wafer is always protected by a clean environmental (in a container) during upload from one process tool to another.

The transparent red material of Minimal Shuttle makes the wafer visible and blocks the ultraviolet radiation.

One type of container is used for all technological processes. In case of packaging the Minimal Shuttle differs only in diameter of wafer stage.

A wide range of components and accessories for Minimal tools.
