  • Patent number: 9209056
    Abstract: An overhead buffer device used for disposing in a semi-conductor factory includes a strut module and a plurality of buffer modules. The strut module disposed on the top wall of the factory has a horizontal beam and a plurality of overhead strut. The overhead strut is set on the horizontal beam and spaced arranged along the horizontal beam. The buffer modules are installed on the overhead strut respectively. Each buffer module has a plurality of buffers arranged in sequence and along a vertical direction. Each buffer is used for receiving one front opening unified pod (FOUP). Thus, the instant disclosure can be used for using the space of the factory efficiently. Besides, the instant disclosure also provides a wafer transport system having the overhead buffer device.

  • Publication number: 20150090684
    Abstract: The instant disclosure relates to a lifting device for transporting a wafer carrier to an automatic handling system including a suspension rail and an automatic guiding vehicle configured to move along the suspension rail, comprising an elevating holder, a plurality of suspension modules, and a plurality of first drive modules. Specially, the elevating holder has a motion sensor configured to detect whether the elevating holder is in a horizontal state or a non-horizontal state. The first drive modules can be used to synchronously drive the suspension modules according the horizontal state detected by the motion sensor, and the first drive modules can also be used to individually drive each of the suspension modules according the non-horizontal state detected by the motion sensor to recover the elevating holder from the non-horizontal state as the horizontal state.
