SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR WAFER OVERVIEW IMAGE SCAN AND PRE-ALIGNMENT OF FILM FRAME CARRIER
The system includes a film frame carrier (FFC) configured to support a workpiece, and the FFC is removably disposed on an FFC rotator. The system further includes an end effector configured to engage the FFC to remove the FFC from the FFC rotator and a scanner disposed in a movement path of the end effector. The scanner is configured to generate an overview image of the end effector engaged with the FFC as the end effector moves away from the FFC rotator. The system further includes a processor configured to receive the overview image from the scanner, determine an alignment between the FFC and the end effector according to the overview image, and control a movement of the end effector according to the alignment between the FFC and the end effector.
Substrate treating apparatus
Disclosed is a substrate treating apparatus provided with a posture turning unit. The posture turning unit includes a first vertical holder having a first rotating member and a first holder body provided so as to protrude from the first rotating member. The posture turning unit also includes a second vertical holder having a second rotating member and a second holder body provided so as to protrude from the second rotating member. A rotation driving unit rotates the two holder bodies around the two rotating members, respectively, whereby the two vertical holders are changed into a holding state or a releasing state. When a posture of substrates is turned to horizontal by a support base rotator, the rotation driving unit changes a state of the two vertical holders into the releasing state, whereby the substrates are released from the two holder bodies.
