CHAD Industries Showcases New WaferMate300(TM) Wafer Handling Workcell at Semicon West 2006; WaferMate300(TM) Workcell is Selected by Top WLP Process Tool Company for Large Automation Program.ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Chad Industries Inc., a leading supplier of factory automation solutions for the semiconductor, electronics, and life sciences industries, will be showcasing the latest release of their WaferMate(TM) product line at the Semicon West tradeshow that opens next month in San Francisco San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden . The WaferMate300(TM) wafer handling workcell combines reliable hardware with fully integrated software Separate software components or applications that have been combined into one package. See integrated software package. , resulting in the most robust solution for today's wafer and substrate loading applications. The WaferMate300 has already been selected as the wafer handler of choice by a top WLP WLP WebLogic Portal (Bea Systems) WLP Wafer Level Packaging WLP Women's Learning Partnership (Bethesda, MD) WLP Workplace Learning & Performance WLP World Library Partnership, Inc. (Wafer Level Packaging) process tool company for their customer's large automation program. It is the optimal solution for the WLP tool market because it offers a high degree of performance and flexibility at an exceptional value. This flexibility is essential to meet the automation requirements of WLP processes, which can involve the handling of non-standard substrates such as thin or double-sided wafers. The WaferMate300 is a fifth-generation design that leverages the best aspects of the highly successful WLM WLM Windows Live Messenger WLM Waltham, Massachusetts (Airport Code) WLM We Love Music WLM Workload Manager WLM Wiring List (TMINS) WLM Weyrling Master (Dragonriders of Pern) (TM) series yet does so at significantly lower cost, permitting automated wafer handling at a much lower cost of entry. The WaferMate300 is designed to accommodate both 300mm and 200mm wafers via SEMI standard automated loadports. It can be configured with a broad range of options to meet specific handling requirements. These options include special end-effectors to address thin, double-sided, and glass wafer handling, and OCR OCR in full optical character recognition Scanning and comparison technique intended to identify printed text or numerical data. It avoids the need to retype already printed material for data entry. and barcode readers See bar code reader. for wafer identification and traceability. The WaferMate300 is designed to be SEMI S2, S8, and CE compliant and is also available with integrated ISO (1) See ISO speed. (2) (International Organization for Standardization, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iso.ch) An organization that sets international standards, founded in 1946. The U.S. member body is ANSI. Class 2 clean air system. It features a PC-based control system that enables custom programming to address even the most demanding wafer handling applications. "We are very excited about the market potential of the WaferMate300 and we are extremely pleased with the success of the WaferMate product line in general," said Scott Klimczak, president of Chad Industries. "We gathered significant customer input to develop a high-performance, low-cost product that could meet the constant challenges of the fast-developing WLP market. Given the 200mm and 300mm OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and design wins the WaferMate has generated since its inception 12 months ago, it is clear that we have met the market challenges." Chad Industries designs, manufactures and markets wafer handling solutions for the semiconductor industry, mechanical and odd-form component assembly solutions for the electronics industry, liquid handling solutions for the life sciences industry, and other automated handling, assembly and test solutions. CHAD began operations in 1973 and established leadership in the electronics assembly for odd-form component to printed circuit assembly (CHAD IQ(TM) Product Line), and has expanded their solutions expertise to include semiconductor, fiber optics fiber optics, transmission of digitized messages or information by light pulses along hair-thin glass fibers. Each fiber is surrounded by a cladding having a high index of refractance so that the light is internally reflected and travels the length of the fiber , and life sciences solutions.
