SOLUTION SET: HBLED Complete Automation Solutions
The dramatic growth of the HBLED market is requiring the rapid adoption of automation solutions. Reducing cost while increasing LED efficiency and yield impacts every facet of manufacturing: MOCVD, patterning, scribe, inspection, and test. Owens has deep experience with HBLED automation with proven solutions in wafer handling, film frame handling, carrier handling, inspection, and system manufacturing.
Frontend Substrate Handling
The unique processing requirements for HBLED wafers require customized handling solutions. Owens has developed specialized end effector designs that meet the stringent handling and cleanliness requirements of the next generation LED fabs.
Backend Film Frame Handling
Light extraction and die packaging typically require handling the LED wafer on film frames. The automation of the film frame, film frame cassettes, and integration of film frame magazines is an important factor to improving the reliability of these process steps. Owens has developed proven solutions for film frame and film frame cassette automation including side by side and stacked cassette layouts.
