Full Specifications

KM-S Technical Specifications

Wafer systems are configured by project. Items marked "per configuration" depend on wafer size, cleanliness class and site interfaces; the formal specification governs. Cycle time is evaluated against line takt time.

Wafer Fixtures & Applications

KM-S Wafer Handling and Applications

Configure wafer handling, clean fluid paths and automation interfaces for batch drying of 8/12-inch wafers.

KM-S 12-inch wafer basket configurationConfiguration
Fixture 12″ Wafer Basket

A circular vertical basket fits the chamber; wafer count and spacing are customized.

KM-S automatic lid and clamping mechanismConfiguration
Mechanism Automatic Opening and Clamping

Dual rods lift in sync; a circumferential mechanism locks the lid after closure.

KM-S concealed electromechanical integrationConfiguration
System Concealed Electromechanical Integration

Cooling, pressurization and controls are integrated internally, leaving only required external interfaces.

Engineering Features

Wafer Handling, Clean Fluid Paths and Interfaces Designed as One System

KM-S automatic vessel lid, clean fluid path and data-interface integration System Integration
  1. Automatic Lifting Vessel Lid

    Electric closed-loop opening and high-pressure sealing reduce operator variability.

  2. Clean Fluid Path

    316L wetted parts and clean filtration protect the wafer-level fluid path.

  3. Batch data traceability

    Recipes, run records and alarm logs support batch comparison and traceability.

  4. Production-line Interface Evaluation

    The automatic lid, alarm records, MES and site-system interfaces are evaluated against project boundaries.
