The
MACS combines the in-vacuum wafer exchange of the MPX carousel load-lock with an atmospheric robot and cassette to offer the same throughput as a conventional single chamber vacuum cassette loaded cluster system.
The
MACS is fully field-upgradeable. Simply purchase a manually loaded system for research & development, then upgrade to full cassette to cassette operation when you are ready to increase production volumes. If wafer volumes continue to increase the process chamber can also be incorporated into a cluster tool as all platform share common control system design.
