AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing robotic equipment is difficult to operate effectively within a rectangular host, especially when maintaining a constant span and avoiding operation beyond the sweep diameter specification.

Method used

A dual-terminal reactor robot device is designed, including a lower arm, an upper arm, a first blade and a second blade. The flexible extension and retraction of the terminal reactor is achieved through the rotating shaft and the coupling structure to ensure operational flexibility and efficiency within the rectangular host.

Benefits of technology

Flexible substrate processing in a rectangular host is realized, and can operate in single and dual substrate processing modes, maintain a constant span and avoid operation exceeding the sweep diameter, improving processing yield and operation reliability.
