  • Patent number: 11945004
    Abstract: A semiconductor manufacturing equipment cleaning system has a multi-station cleaning and inspection system. Within semiconductor manufacturing equipment cleaning system, a tray cleaning station uses a first rotating brush passing over a first surface of a carrier and possibly semiconductor die, and a second rotating brush passing over a second surface of the carrier and semiconductor die opposite the first surface of the carrier and semiconductor die. Debris and contaminants dislodged from the first surface and second surface of the carrier by the first rotating brush and second rotating brush are removed under vacuum suction. A conveyor transports the carrier through the multi-station cleaning and inspection system. The first rotating brush and second rotating brush move in tandem across the first surface and second surface of the carrier. Air pressure is injected across the first rotating brush and second rotating brush to further remove debris and contaminants.

  • Patent number: 11939942
    Abstract: A remote controller, a remote-control system and a control method thereof are provided. The remote controller includes a motion sensing circuit and a wireless communication circuit electrically connected to the motion sensing circuit. The motion sensing circuit determines whether or not a motion of the remote controller complies with one of multiple reference motions. When the motion of the remote controller complies with one of the reference motions, the wireless communication circuit is switched from a sleep state to a working state. The wireless communication circuit that is in the working state determines whether or not a received signal strength indication between the remote controller and a controlled device is greater than or equal to a strength threshold. When the received signal strength indication is less than the strength threshold, the wireless communication circuit is switched from the working state to the sleep state.
