Applications
- General use: Vacuum wands are utilized to pick up and transport wafers from one location to another without adding particles.
- Sorting: For manual wafer sorting applications, vacuum wands allow operators to move wafers safely and precisely within a parent lot. They can also be used to combine lots together, add test wafers, and replace any damaged wafers, as necessary.
- Inspection - Operators can use vacuum wands to pull out a wafer from a parent lot and inspect it under specialized lighting to look for defects. This ensures that the process has been successful and that the wafer meets the required specifications
WHS offers a range of high-performance accessories designed to adapt and customize WHS vacuum wands for various wafer handling and small device management applications. Each adapter is precision-manufactured, either from molded parts or with precision machining, ensuring top-quality construction. Some adapters are made entirely from ESD-safe PEEK material, while others feature stainless steel components or a combination of both, offering the right material for specific applications.
The WHS-V5-GND grounding adapter ensures proper ESD protection by completing the vacuum wand’s grounding path. Many WHS-V5 adapters feature tapered fits, allowing for easy, tool-free installation.
All WHS-V5 adapters are engineered with antistatic properties, cleanroom compatibility, and robust construction, making them ideal for high-performance semiconductor manufacturing environments. These universal adapters enhance the adaptability and efficiency of WHS vacuum wands, ensuring precision and reliability in demanding cleanroom settings.
