The semiconductor wafer clean room automatic handling system (AMHS) is mainly composed of two parts: the hardware structure (storage unit + handling unit) and the control system. In semiconductor processing plants, AMHS systems (Automated Material Handling Systems) are very critical and are the guarantee of improving semiconductor manufacturing yield, yield and equipment utilization. Especially for fully automated semiconductor factories that realize automatic transfer between production equipment and equipment, an efficient AMHS system can greatly reduce the waiting time of in-process products, thereby shortening the production cycle of wafer products. AMHS has experienced rapid development from mechanical transport to unmanned transport. The early 6-inch fab was not widely used due to the limited weight of the wafer itself. Later, with the rise of the 8-inch fab, the application of AMHS began to flourish. It has successively experienced the first-generation unit air transport system, the second-generation EQtoEQ partial cross-regional direct transport, the third-generation plant-wide EQtoEQ AMHS system, and then the fourth generation AMHS, Stocker+OHT+ZFS. The fourth generation AMHS system is an automatic material conveying system that uses multi-fork in the air and does not need to wait. The speed of conveying the wafer cassette is very fast (≥3 m/s), it can move in a curve or climb a slope, without adding a transfer unit, swinging. Small, effectively control the generation of particulate matter. In order to solve the problem of possible congestion in conveyance, the concepts of dynamic load balancing and dynamic task assignment are proposed. In order to reduce the footprint, the early stocker storage warehouse is placed in the aerial wafer storage device UTS. Reduce costs, the use of UTS reduces the number of Stockers, thereby reducing fixed investment, improving equipment reliability, and saving regular maintenance costs. The dynamic decision-making function of the AMHS system makes the AMHS system transition from the early design concept of shortening the production cycle through rapid mechanical movement to the new concept of intelligently controlling the position of the aerial carrier and rationally dispatching workers, giving full play to the role of production assistance and bringing the fab to the fab. more added value.
