Aquest Systems is planning to open a dedicated 20,000 square foot
demonstration center in Taichung, Taiwan to enable the start-up fab
automation specialist to showcase its next-generation hi-volume AMHS
solutions for 300mm fabs.
"Creation of the NWA is the first step in the establishment of
various partnerships being consummated with major IC manufacturers for
active involvement in the NWA facility and the development of the
FabEX-based No-Wait-AMHS solution," commented Aquest President and CEO,
Dr. Mihir Parikh
The ‘NWA’-dubbed facility is expected to open
later in 2008 and will be able to simulate interactions with more than
48 different types of processing and inspection/metrology systems that
involve 100 loadports as well as interfaces to stockers and fab-wide
material control software.
