OVERVIEW This installation supplement manual is aimed to explain the changes and present the additional requirements to the Tegal90Xe series with Allwin21 Corporation TTW Upgrade Kit. It is not a replacement for the Tegal90Xe TTW manuals or its OEM manuals.
069-0710-02 Rev. C Tegal AW-90Xe TTW Installation Supplement Figure 2-1: Control Interface Board EQUIPE ROBOT ARM 1.2.2 There are two types of Equipe robot arms, a straight robot arm with vacuum and a fork robot arm with vacuum. Based on customer’s needs, one of the two Equipe robot arm types is included with the system.
WAFER ALIGNMENT STATION 1.2.4 Allwin21 installed a wafer alignment station that allows the proper alignment of wafer size 3, 4, 5, and 6 inches. Its purpose is to ensure every wafer is centered and the fact is position in the same direction when processed to increase repeatability of results.
1.2.5 Based on customer’s requirement, an appropriate wattage RF plasma generator is included with the Allwin21 machine. The RF generator generates microwave, which excites the gas molecules inside the chamber to produce plasma. The following RF generator is used: MKS/ENI Elite 300 The unit is air cooled using a built in fan located at the rear of the unit.
Figure 2-5: RF Generator Supply CASSETTE HOLDER 1.2.6 Allwin21 has installed a new cassette holder. It replaced the two cassette elevators from the original shuttle cassette to cassette system. The cassette holder can be adjusted to fit wafer carriers between 3 to 6 inches.
