Customised tools
All amc models are adaptable platforms, so custom configurations and process solutions are standard across the amc range. However, the footprints are very compact and space saving. For example, with the amc 1000 you will find 3 processes, 1 wafer handling station and up to 4 I/O stations on approximately 1.4 m² and you can flexibly process wafer sizes between 2" and 8".
Each amc tool can be optimised for either flexible single processes or high throughput. Choosing the right production equipment to increase efficiency in a number of ways is an important aspect of the sustainability of a company and its products.
Process, cost and machine efficiency
Almost all features of the amc tools, e.g. linear motor drive for nozzle positioning or our special EBR solutions, are configured to enable and optimise flexible processes. In addition, the ams PILOT software independently controls the processes in each machine, contributing greatly to this. This increases throughput and the quality of the finished product, reduces scrap, cuts downtime and prevention costs and saves time.
Optimised processes, attractive acquisition costs, a very good return on investment, low maintenance and spare parts costs and the long service life of all components contribute to increased cost efficiency. In addition, flexible process options and the wide range of substrates that can be processed help to increase machine efficiency and reduce changeover times. Furthermore, the compact footprint of the amc systems and the option of true through-the-wall installation save expensive clean room capacity.
Environmental protection is becoming increasingly important in all areas of life, and it is also a matter of great concern to amcoss, which is reflected in our equipment. Thanks to the energy saving mode of our ams PILOT software and the unique amcoss dispensing system, the option to reuse media and recycle dissolved metals in the lift-off process, as well as other clever features, not only resists and media can be saved, but also energy. As a result, there is less scrap and waste. Because several processes can be run in one compact machine, the environmental footprint is generally smaller. Finally, we try to keep our supply chain as local as possible.
Sustainability must not be limited to technology, but must also focus on people. Production equipment must be simple, convenient and safe to operate. Our unique amc operating concept is reflected in all aspects of our amcross machines - in our user-friendly ams PILOT software, in a machine design that allows easy access to modules that can be easily installed or removed, and in easy process adjustment. In addition, many built-in features enhance operator safety.
