Patent number: 6091339Abstract: A position detector is provided for use on a spin-drying machine employed in integrated circuit (IC) fabrication to detect whether the spin-drying machine has shifted in position during operation. If the spin-drying machine is positioned incorrectly, the position detector is capable of stopping the operation of robot arms used to grab and position wafers on the spin-drying machine so that the robot arms will not be damaged or crash into the wafers on the spin-drying machine due to the incorrect positioning of the spin-drying machine. The position detector is designed for use on a spin-drying machine having a spinning unit, a fixed platform surrounding the spinning unit, and at least one robot arm mounted on the fixed unit. The position detector comprises a pair of emitters mounted on the spinning unit and a pair of oppositely arranged receivers on the fixed platform.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 1999Date of Patent: July 18, 2000Assignees: United Silicon Incorporated, United Microelectronics Corp.Inventors: Ming-Te Chuang, Yu-Shan Lin, Kun-Feng Lin, Qing-Yong Chen
