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. The converter includes a first connector, a second connector, and a controller. The first connector is configured to receive a first display resolution and the click position from the flat panel display. The second connector is configured to receive a synchronization signal and a second display resolution from the semiconductor manufacturing machine. The controller is configured to obtain the light pen simulated signal according to a light pen position corresponding to the click position, and to control the second connector to provide the light pen simulated signal to the semiconductor manufacturing machine according to the synchronization signal.
