Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is an apparatus and method for monitoring the relative relationship between the wafer and the chuck. This invention is designed to monitor whether the wafer is sticky on the chuck when the wafer is de-chucked. The system utilizes lift pins that can be extended outside the chuck to separate the wafer and the chuck during the de-chucking process. By detecting the capacitance between the de-chucked wafer and the chuck, the system can determine if the wafer is sticky or if it is properly supported by the lift pins. This innovation allows for an early alarm to be issued if the wafer is sticky or improperly removed. Additionally, the invention includes a mechanism to eliminate charges at the wafer by controlling a switch connected to a lift pin that contacts the wafer.
