Patent number: 7873498Abstract: The invention discloses a remote hardware inspection system, including a remote monitor station and a client server. The monitor station includes a hardware inspection unit and a first network interface. The hardware inspection unit is for generating a hardware inspection command which is transmitted to the server by the first network interface. The server includes a second network interface, an input/output unit, and a managing/controlling unit. The input/output unit has an inspection program. The second network interface receives the hardware inspection command and transmits it to the managing/controlling unit. In response to the hardware inspection command, the managing/controlling unit generates and transmits a trigger signal to the input/output unit to implement the inspection program. Thereby, the inspection program writes data into the target hardware of the server according to the content of the hardware inspection command.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2009Date of Patent: January 18, 2011Assignee: Quanta Computer Inc.Inventors: Wei-Yu Chien, Ko-Chin Chung

Patent number: 6950181Abstract: A wafer presence optical sensor system comprises a transfer chamber adapted to receive a wafer, an optical sensor comprising means emitting a sensing beam and means receiving a beam reflected from the wafer to ascertain wafer presence in the chamber, and means to reflect away the sensing beam when reaching a chamber bottom. The reflecting means includes an oblique area made in an inner surface of the chamber bottom or, alternatively, a body with an oblique area placed on the inner surface. Reflecting away the sensing beam when no wafer is present in the transfer chamber prevents the receiving means from receiving the beam reflected from the chamber bottom and thus thwarts the misinterpretation of wafer presence.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2003Date of Patent: September 27, 2005Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ho-Jen Chen, Ton-Lee Lee, Ko-Chin Chung, Fan-Lin Lu

Patent number: 6678581Abstract: A method of calibrating a wafer edge gripping end effector. A wafer calibration tool is held in a stationary position simulating the position of a semiconductor wafer to be picked up by the wafer edge gripping end effector. A controller associated with a robot having an end effector attached to a robot arm thereto is turned off. The robot arm and end effector are moved to position where the first and second clamp structures on the end effector each engage a respective inner edge that in part defines a notch formed in the wafer calibration tool. An actuator driven movable clamp structure is manually advanced so that the movable clamp structure engages an inner edge that in part defines one of the notches formed in the wafer calibration tool. The controller is turned on and data regarding the location of robot arm, end effector and movable clamp structure is stored.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2002Date of Patent: January 13, 2004Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.
