Apparatus for the manufacture of a component such as an integrated circuit chip, including: a plurality of processing stations forming a production line for the manufacture of the component, a conveyor adapted to transport component forming materials from one processing station to another in the production line, and a storage on the production line for storing the materials during transport along the production line. The storage acts as buffers effectively to collect materials and store them for efficient transport along the production line.

Apparatus for assembling integrated circuit packages

The invention relates to a compartment having a space segregated from air outside the compartment and capable of housing a product apparatus for assembly of, for example, semiconductor devices and integrated circuit packages in a &ldquo;clean&rdquo; environment. The compartment includes panels to segregate the air inside the compartment from the surrounding environment. At the front of the compartment there is a top access panel and a bottom access panel to access a production apparatus (not shown) which is houseable or storable within a space for such apparatus defined within the compartment Where it is desired to place a plurality of similar compartments adjacent to one another to provide a production line, an opening can be included in one or both of the side panels for transfer of processed material, such as leadframes for assembling integrated circuit packages, from one production apparatus to another, housed in respective adjacent compartments Thus the or each compartment provides an individual clean space for carrying out a particular step of a production process. It is not therefore necessary to provide a single, massive, clean room.
