Wafer Separation from the sawn stack to ecoCarrier™

The System
The function of the wafer stack splitter is to automatically separate single wafers from the sawn stack. The sawn and pre-cleaned stack is separated manually into short stacks before loading into the ecoSplit™C for safe and fast single wafer separation. The single wafers are then transported to the carrier station. Empty carriers are loaded into the carrier station automatically and are indexed slot-by-slot to accept each split wafer from the transport system. When full, the carrier is sent to the output station for unloading. For loading and unloading the operator is alerted to the status by the control interface and a remote visual indicator. A sprinkler system is used throughout the system to prevent the wafers from drying out during the entire process.

The Technology
The splitter uses a gentle ‘dealing’ technique to separate wafers from the bottom of the stack. This patented handling technology has been carefully researched, developed and proven to provide a fast, safe and stress-free method of separation which is unique without the prior knowledge of the handling materials and precise control techniques engineered into the machine.

ROI
We can demonstrate to you that ecoSplit™ system is the most cost effective system on the market with a very fast Return of Investment. This is due to its low cost, highest throughput and lowest breakage rates.

Option: ecoCUDe™

For safe and fast bench-top unloading of wafers from the ecoCarrier™

Description
This unique solution from ACI provides a high reliable but still simple solution to unload carriers. The ACI ecoCUDe™ is a manually operated desk-top device to unload wafers or cells from a wet bench carrier (e.g. ACI ecoCarrier™) using a very efficient and safe method. For unloading, an ecoCarrier™ is locked onto the ecoCUDe™, the wafers or cells are then manually pushed-out in sub-sets of 20-25 pieces. The pushed-out wafers or cells can easily be picked up by hand and manually transferred to the next process (e.g. inspection or packaging).
With a throughput of up to 30 carriers per hour and with very low breakage rates, this device is a very cost effective investment for your wafer production.

Technology
The ACI ecoCUDe™ uses a gentle “pushing” technique to manually unload wafers or cells from a carrier. This process has been carefully developed and proven to provide a fast and safe method for manual carrier unloading.
