Huzhou Pumu Semiconductor: Driving the Revolution of wafer processing automation with innovative technologies
In the field of semiconductor manufacturing, the high-precision handling, calibration and loading of wafers are the core links to ensure the yield of chips. As an emerging force in the domestic semiconductor equipment field, Huzhou Pumu Semiconductor Co., Ltd. is providing efficient and precise automation solutions for the industry with its independently developed core products such as wafer transfer systems, wafer calibrators, wafer loading systems, and air flotation rotating shafts, helping domestic semiconductor equipment move towards high-end development.
I. Wafer Transfer System: The intelligent core of flexible handling
The wafer transfer system is a key link connecting various process modules in the semiconductor production line. The transfer system of Huzhou Pumu adopts high-precision servo drive and visual positioning technology, which can achieve seamless transfer of wafers between processes such as cleaning, photolithography and etching. Its modular design supports compatibility with multi-sized wafers (such as 8-inch and 12-inch), and is equipped with shock-absorbing and buffering structures as well as vacuum adsorption platforms to ensure zero contact damage during handling. In addition, the system integrates a real-time data feedback function, which can be linked with the MES system to optimize the production line rhythm.
Ii. Wafer Calibrator: Ensuring Nanometer-level alignment accuracy
In processes with strict alignment accuracy requirements such as photolithography and bonding, Huzhou Pumu's wafer calibrator controls the wafer position deviation within ±1μm through multi-axis collaborative control and optical alignment algorithms. Its innovation lies in:
Dynamic compensation technology: Real-time correction of displacement errors caused by temperature changes and vibrations;
Dual-camera cross-validation: Increase alignment success rate to 99.9%;
Quick mode switching: Supports one-click invocation of parameters between different processes.
This equipment has been applied in advanced packaging and third-generation semiconductor production lines, significantly reducing the scrap rate caused by poor alignment.
Iii. Wafer Loading System: The Efficiency Cornerstone of Automated Production
In response to the interaction requirements between the wafer box (FOUP/FOSB) and the process equipment, Prim has developed an automatic wafer loading system. Its core advantages include:
Robotic arm grasping mechanism: Adopting bionic design, the grasping force is adaptively adjusted;
Anti-static protective layer: prevents static discharge from damaging sensitive devices;
Intelligent scheduling algorithm: Dynamically allocate tasks based on production line load, increasing equipment utilization by more than 30%.
This system is compatible with the interfaces of mainstream semiconductor machines and has become the preferred solution for the upgrading and transformation of 8-inch / 12-inch Fab factories.
Iv. Air Flotation Rotating Shaft: An Engineering Breakthrough in Ultra-Precision Motion
As a core component for equipment motion control, the air-floating rotating shaft independently developed by Huzhou Pulim has broken through the friction limitations of traditional mechanical bearings:
Air static pressure bearing technology: Achieving nanoscale rotational accuracy (<0.001°);
Wear-free design: Lifespan exceeds 100,000 hours, maintenance costs are reduced by 70%.
High-speed response capability: Supports millisecond-level start and stop, meeting the rhythm requirements of advanced manufacturing processes.
This component has been successfully applied to high-end equipment such as photolithography machines and wafer bonding machines, breaking the foreign technological monopoly.
