Automation Solutions for Semiconductor Manufacturing

Nanometer-level precision and ISO-compliant cleanroom motion for high-throughput semiconductor fabrication.

Industry Applications
The Challenge

Automated Optical Inspection

Inspection of nanometer-scale features requires absolute stability and zero-vibration motion to ensure image clarity and defect detection accuracy.

The TOYO Solution

TOYO Linear Motor stages provide direct-drive precision with no mechanical backlash or vibration, while air bearings, active or passive vibration dampers, and large granite solutions eliminate additional vibration concerns and ensure thermal stability.

Our AOI solutions focus on:
  • High Scanning Speed: Rapid transit between inspection points without settling time delays.
  • Sub-micron Repeatability: Ensuring consistent inspection results across millions of cycles.
  • Air Bearing Compatibility: Optional integration for the most demanding frictionless environments.
  • Environmental Stability: Vibration suppressing tools and system thermal management ensure maximum throughput for your system.

Wafer Handling

TOYO understands moving the wafer between workstations or loading and unloading the FOUP must be done without particle contamination or mechanical stress.

The TOYO Solution

Sealed cleanroom actuators with vacuum suction ports eliminate particle emission.

Key features for wafer handling:
  • ISO Class 4 Compliance: Specialized seals and lubricants for fab-ready performance.
  • Gentle Acceleration: S-curve motion profiling to prevent wafer slippage.
  • Compact Footprint: High power density to fit within standard EFEM modules.

FOUP Transport

Managing FOUP (Front Opening Unified Pod) movement requires robust, high-speed motion that maintains cleanroom integrity over long strokes.

The TOYO Solution

Belt-driven actuators optimized for high-speed, long-distance transport with low particle generation.

FOUP transport advantages:
  • Long Travel Capability: Systems engineered for overhead transport or fab-wide distribution.
  • High Reliability: Low-maintenance belt designs for continuous 24/7 operation.
  • Vibration Damping: Specialized mounting and drive logic to protect FOUP contents.
