  • Publication number: 20120116588
    Abstract: A robot system and a control method thereof in which, when a robot is located in a docking region, the robot calculates a distance by emitting infrared rays and detecting ultrasonic waves oscillated from a charging station, measures a distance from the charging station and performs docking with charging station. The distance between the robot and the charging station is precisely measured, thereby performing smooth and correct docking of the robot with the charging station. Further, the robot emits infrared rays only while performing docking with the charging station and thus reduces power consumption required for infrared ray emission, and wakes up a circuit in the charging station based on the infrared rays emitted from the robot and thus reduces power consumption of the charging station.

  • Patent number: 5843850
    Abstract: A method of stripping a nitride layer from a wafer includes the steps of putting the wafer into a process bath containing a stripping solution, passing the stripping solution from the process bath through a filter to remove the nitride particles contained therein, heating the filtered stripping solution through an in-line electrical heater with two heating parts connected in parallel to allow the stripping solution to quickly return to the proper etching temperature, and returning the temperature recovered stripping solution to the process bath. The filtered stripping solution is branched through the parallel heating parts to enable it to be quickly heated. The stripping solution may be a phosphoric acid solution, whose proper etching temperature is about 163.degree. C. The in-line heater consists of at least two heating parts connected in parallel, each with an electrical capacity of 6 KW.
