  • Publication number: 20240355660
    Abstract: Air curtain devices can reduce defects on semiconductor wafers when implemented on a track equipped with robotic wafer transport. The air curtain devices can be added to one or more processing devices arranged along the track to prevent defects from landing on wafer surfaces. For example, the air curtain devices can prevent volatile organic solvent mist from drifting towards processing devices on the track and preventing contamination via a wafer transport system.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 9469529
    Abstract: The present invention provides a fiber base sensor and the fabricating method thereof. More specifically, one of the main goals of the present invention is to solve the problem existing in the prior art of the failure of forming a plurality of nano-particles on the surface of the fiber base sensor evenly by utilizing self-assembly process with the nano-imprint process. Furthermore, the another goal of the present invention is to provide detail parameters required in the said nano-imprinting process for avoiding the efficiency drop caused by over-embedding the nano-particles into the fiber based sensor.
