 Applied Precision, a specialist process analysis tool supplier, has selected CHAD Industries' ‘WaferMate' Equipment Front-End Module (EFEM) sub-system for its ‘waferWoRx300' probing process analysis system.
"We selected CHAD Industries to supply the wafer handling automation for the waferWoRx300 tool because of several factors including CHAD's superior product design, excellent project management and outstanding customer support," said Darren James, Applied Precision Product Line Manager. "CHAD not only worked closely with our team to achieve a seamless integration of the EFEM and the waferWoRx300 tool, but also with our customer to ensure a successful installation."
"We are very pleased that Applied Precision has selected CHAD as the vendor of choice for wafer handling automation. This design win adds to our already significant portfolio of tool companies that have chosen to integrate WaferMate systems," said Scott Klimczak, president of CHAD Industries. "Over the last year, we have refined the WaferMate product line such that it provides customers a high-performance, low-cost platform that can meet the constant challenges of the rapidly evolving SEMI market. We expect to increase our market share in the front-end OEM market by leveraging the advantages the WaferMate has over its competition."
A WaferMate system has already been shipped to Applied Precision's customer in the Northwestern United States and integrated with the tool. The next integration project is scheduled for this month at a major fab in Taiwan, according to CHAD.
