AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing semiconductor processing apparatuses experience wasteful power consumption due to units being constantly powered during idling operations, despite not requiring continuous operation.

Method used

A processing apparatus that allows for a power-saving mode to be selectively applied to individual units, including low rotation speed or rotation stop modes for spindles, sensor stop modes, dimming or shutdown of displays, and stop modes for ionizers and air curtain nozzles, reducing unnecessary power usage.

Benefits of technology

The implementation of a power-saving mode effectively reduces power consumption by optimizing the operation of individual units, thereby enhancing energy efficiency without compromising processing accuracy.
