The WaveEtch 456 G2 Machine is one of Vertex Product Development’s greatest accomplishments.
Matech approached us to help design and engineer a brand new machine based on their patented technology of a small counter top semi-automatic single wafer wet processing machine.
The objectives were to convert the small counter top machine to a full scale multi wafer processing machine with a wafer handling robot sorter. They wanted a fully automated floor standing Fab machine.
This new system is capable of fully automated, cassette-to-cassette, true single-sided wet processing of 1”-12" substrates. As with all other Single Sided Universal Wet Processor™ systems, we achieved this without disturbing or contaminating the unprocessed side of the substrates.
Vertex's role in this project was the overall design and appearance of the WaveEtch™ 456G2, as well as, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, programming & GUI design and complete system integration with a Genmark EFEM mini environment robot unit.
In addition, Vertex engineers were involved with fabricating the first two WaveEtch™ 456G2 units and handling all on site Fab installation.
