  • Patent number: 12051609
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for reducing the humidity within a FOUP (Front Opening Unified Pod) when loaded on an EFEM (Equipment Front End Module) for transfer of a semiconductor wafer substrate during fabrication processes. A deflector of specified structure is placed inside the EFEM above the load port of the FOUP. The deflector directs airflow in the EFEM away from the load port. The deflector includes a body with a plurality of apertures in the deflector body, and with a sloped front surface. Thus, the degree of penetration of high-humidity air from the EFEM into the FOUP is reduced.

  • Patent number: 12050114
    Abstract: A roll sensor is configured to detect a first roll angle at a corresponding first point of a path plan of a vehicle, or its implement, based on the estimated current position. A roll sensor is configured to detect a second roll angle at a corresponding second point of a path plan of a vehicle, or its implement, based on the estimated current position. A data processor is configured to determine a roll angle delta or difference between the first roll angle and the second roll angle. If the roll angle delta is greater than a reference roll value, the roll angle delta is evaluated over an evaluation period. For example, if the roll angle is greater than the reference roll value for equal to or greater than a target percentage or target ratio for the evaluation period, the data processor is configured to designate the roll angle sensor for possible recalibration.
