Applications
- General use: Vacuum wands are utilized to pick up and transport wafers from one location to another without adding particles.
- Sorting: For manual wafer sorting applications, vacuum wands allow operators to move wafers safely and precisely within a parent lot. They can also be used to combine lots together, add test wafers, and replace any damaged wafers, as necessary.
- Inspection - Operators can use vacuum wands to pull out a wafer from a parent lot and inspect it under specialized lighting to look for defects. This ensures that the process has been successful and that the wafer meets the required specifications
The WHS-V5-GND is an Vacuum Wand Grounding Adapter. WHS vacuum wand assemblies are designed with static dissipative materials and should be properly connected to a ground connection source to protect substrates from an ESD event. The WHS-V5-GND is a double hose barb adapter with grounding wire to aid in the installation of a vacuum wand. The installer connects the house facilities vacuum line to one side, the vacuum wand cord to the opposite and connects the 500 mm green grounding wire to a ground source near the workstation.
