Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a wafer transportation device, in particular to a wafer transportation vehicle with a movable shelf. Background technique
[0002] As the size of the wafer increases from 8 inches to 12 inches, the size of the front-opening wafer box (FOUP) and its spare parts used to place the wafer is also increasing, which makes the weight of the wafer box continue to increase. The weight of the FOUP of the wafer is about 9.8Kg. This increase in size and weight probably wouldn't pose any significant ergonomic risk if the materials were automated. However, fully automated operations cannot be fully realized, so there are inevitably still manual handling, such as chip measurement, and handling crystal boxes to manual shelves. As more and more chip manufacturers move to Asia, and most of the workers are women, the size and weight problems of FOUP become more obvious.
[0003] From the perspective of ergonomics, the ideal lifting height when ...
