Abstract
Converter and conversion method for converting a click position of a flat panel display into a light pen simulated signal for a semiconductor manufacturing machine are provided. A converter includes a first connector, a second connector, and a controller. The first connector is configured to relay the click position of the flat panel display with a first display resolution. The second connector is configured to relay a horizontal synchronization signal and a vertical synchronization signal from the semiconductor manufacturing machine and a second display resolution. The controller converts the click position into a light pen position according to the first and second display resolutions, and provides the light pen simulated signal to the semiconductor manufacturing machine through the second connector according to the light pen position, the horizontal synchronization signal and the vertical synchronization signal.
