Patent number: 7109509Abstract: For a device for the detection of substrates stacked at an opening of a wall element, there existed the problem of constructing the detection device in such a way that the detection of the position of the substrates can be performed more flexibly with respect to the course of measurement and the measuring method employed and a defined approach of a sensor system to the semiconductor substrate to be detected is ensured in a definite position of measurement with a lowered risk of particle generation. A transmitting and receiving device (11) consists of a vertical drive mechanism (10) mounted on the wall element (1) and a sensor head (13) that can be adjusted between a lower and an upper position by means of the vertical drive mechanism (10), said sensor head being arranged so as to pivot on the vertical drive mechanism (10) in order to pivot into the opening (4).Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2003Date of Patent: September 19, 2006Assignee: Brooks Automation, Inc.Inventors: Ulysses Gilchrist, Louise S.

Patent number: 6986636Abstract: A device for positioning disk-shaped objects (1) to inspect the front and rear sides of disk-shaped objects and to reduce the negative effect of large-area contact between the holder and the disk-shaped object. The device comprises a rotatable table (24) which can be adjusted in the x-y direction in an adjustment plane and is intended to accomodate a platform (3). A fork-shaped frame (8) is mounted on the platform so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation which is aligned perpendicular to the surface of the platform (3) and the angle of tilt of which can be set relative to the adjustment plane. At its fork ends, the fork-shaped frame (8) has another axis of rotation which is aligned perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the fork-shaped frame (8) and about which a frame-shaped object holder (9) is mounted so as to be rotatable in the fork-shaped frame (8) for the purpose of turning the object.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2001Date of Patent: January 17, 2006Assignee: Brooks Automation, Inc.Inventors: Joachim Konig, Steffen Kruger, Bjorn Zimmer, Manfred Heinze
