Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shuttle technology, and in particular to a novel shuttle compatible with multiple ICs. Background Technology

[0002] In the integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing process, the IC transportation process places extremely high demands on the adaptability and transportation efficiency of the material shuttle. Currently, the IC material shuttles used in the industry generally have significant limitations in their structural design: traditional material shuttles mostly have fixed cavity structures at their workstations, and the size and depth of the cavity are pre-set during production, which can only accommodate IC products of a single specification (same package type and same thickness).

[0003] When production demands involve the simultaneous transport of multiple ICs with different package types (such as DIP, SOP, QFP, etc.) or different thicknesses, the drawbacks of traditional fixed-cavity feed chutes become fully apparent. To transport ICs of different sizes, companies need to customize dedicated feed chutes for each size. This not only significantly increases the procurement costs of production equipment and inventory management costs, but also requires frequent feed chutes replacement when switching production specifications, severely reducing the continuous operating efficiency of the production line.

[0004] In addition, there are a few existing technologies that attempt to achieve multi-specification adaptability shuttle designs, but these designs mostly adopt an overall adjustment structure (such as adjusting the cavity depth as a whole through bolts), which cannot be independently adjusted for a single station.
