  • Publication number: 20150155196
    Abstract: A wafer grinding system includes a robot arm having a suction board at one end and a table within reach of the robot arm. An upper surface of the table has a vacuum surface for sucking and holding wafers. A pusher coupled to the robot arm extends about the periphery of the suction board. The pusher flattens wafers against the upper surface of the table, allowing the table to hold by suction wafers that would otherwise be too bowed to be held in that way. Additionally, a table can have a vacuum area that is small in comparison to the wafers, which is another way of increasing the magnitude of wafer bow that can be tolerated. A grinding system can use the reduced vacuum area concept to allow the positioning table to hold bowed wafers and the pusher concept to allow the chuck tables to hold bowed wafers.

  • Publication number: 20140271997
    Abstract: A method of exchanging gas in a process of making oxygenated water is performed in a water tank. The water tank has a water inlet, a water outlet, a gas inlet, and a gas outlet. Water is received in the water tank. The water outlet and the gas inlet are closed, and the gas outlet is opened. And then supply the water tank with water through the water inlet to make a water level in the water tank go up and make gas above the water level escape through the gas outlet. Next, close the gas outlet and open the gas inlet and the water outlet once the water tank is almost filled up. Finally, close the gas inlet and the water outlet when the water level is lower than a predetermined level.
