  • Patent number: 8234003
    Abstract: A monitoring device for monitoring an abnormal load or unload operation of a wafer. The monitoring device includes a sensing unit and a detective unit. The sensing unit is for providing a sensing information, which indicates whether the wafer protrudes from a side of a carrier. The detective unit is for determining whether a duration, for which the wafer protrudes from the side of the carrier exceeds a predetermined time, for which the wafer is loaded or unloaded, according to the sensing information. If the duration exceeds the predetermined time, the detective unit further triggers an abnormal event.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6639782
    Abstract: First of all, a processing apparatus that is utilized in the semiconductor industry, a protecting circuit and an automatic running apparatus having the standardized mechanical interface (SMIF) are provided. The protecting circuit includes: a voltage-induction device, a logical device and two electric-lighting devices. The protecting circuit receives the signals from the processing apparatus by the voltage-induction device, and the protecting circuit utilizes the logical device to perform a logical calculation in accordance with the signals from the processing apparatus. Furthermore, the states of operating the processing apparatus are shown in two electric-lighting devices, and the logical signals are transported from the protecting circuit into the standardized mechanical interface (SMIF) to control the operation of the robotic arm in the automatic running apparatus.
