Overview

Business: Robot hands and non-contact transfer for thin wafers
Why it matters
- Wafers thinned for power devices or stacked memory can crack under ordinary vacuum suction, so they need special end effectors.
- TAIKO wafers keep a thick rim around a thinned centre, which changes how they must be gripped.
