The AeroTrak™ 3 Interbay Transport Systems for 200mm SMIF Pod/Cassette and 300mm FOUP enable users to manage the flow of wafers and reticles throughout the fab. AeroTrak 3 is based on the field-proven PRI-Brooks AeroTrak 200/300 design with improved and updated electronics and firmware; AeroTrak Systems handle more than 10 million wafers per day in over 60 installations worldwide.
Extensive routing and management capabilities
The AeroTrak 3 Interbay Transport System performs three critical tasks:
> Moves wafer or reticle carriers between stockers. Routing modules allow flexibility in the track layout by offering alternate paths and the ability to transport vehicles between floors;
> Maintains carrier lot information and location during transport, allowing quick and easy identification at any point in the production process;
> Ensures that carriers are transported safely, protecting both carriers and the operators in the fab.
Unparalleled flexibility
Routing modules, passive track and tight radius curves allow stocker placement in any location. In addition, the system is easy to upgrade, so users won’t be locked in if production volume or product mix changes.
Built-in reliability
The AeroTrak 3’s distributed controls architecture features auto-fail over capability, ensuring that no single mode of failure can take the entire system down
