Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the material transmission field, be specifically related to a kind of automated material delivery system and material transfer approach.
Background technology
Along with development of semiconductor, the silicon chip that the silicon chip of 300mm has replaced 200mm becomes main flow, and each container weight that has loaded silicon chip has become about 9 kilograms by original about 4 kilograms.Therefore, if come to transmit between each manufacturing module by means of manpower, can cause efficient lower, simultaneously the danger that also may cause personnel to be injured.And owing to can effectively improve the production cycle of factory building degree of utilization, shortening product, automated material delivery system (Automated Material Handling Systems, hereinafter to be referred as: AMHS) with respect to the material transmission of manpowerization, become the main tie of in 300mm silicon chip manufacturing process, carrying silicon chip between each manufacturing module.
Fig. 1 is the structural representation at the automated material delivery system of a certain concrete manufacturing block configuration in the prior art.As shown in Figure 1, this automated material delivery system mainly comprises: memory cell STOCKER801 and elevator subsystem 102.Wherein, memory cell STOCKER101 is provided with at least one input port 111, at least one delivery port 121, be placed with box type container 103 among the memory cell STOCKER801, deposited material (Work In Product is hereinafter to be referred as WIP) as silicon chip at box type container 103.Elevator subsystem 102 comprises the overhead track 112 that is arranged on memory cell STOCKER801 periphery, and the waggon 122 that can travel in overhead track 112.Each waggon 122 also is connected with a manipulator 132, picks up or unload box type container 103 by this manipulator 132, controls waggon 122 again and travels along overhead track 112, thereby make silicon chip transmission automatically between each manufacturing module of fabrication region.Travel in overhead track 112 such as the waggon 122 that has picked up a box type container 103, and be parked in the position that its box type container that picks up 103 can be unloaded to its stop position place input port 111, perhaps can pick up the position of a box type container 103 from delivery port 121, and finally finish box type container 103 to the unloading of memory cell STOCKER101 or pack into.After this waggon 122 was finished unloading or packed into, another rested in overhead track 112 waggons 122 again by 121 unloadings of its stop position place input port 111 or delivery port or other the box type container 103 of packing into.
Unloading or box type container 103 containers of packing into are to finish by the manipulator 132 that is connected with waggon 122, for this reason, this manipulator 132 need arrange 3 or more axis of movement usually, thereby the material WIP among the STOCKER101 is pushed to delivery port 111 or the WIP in the waggon 122 is pushed to input port 121.Yet 3 or more axis of movement make that the motion process of manipulator 132 is comparatively complicated, have increased from memory cell STOCKER101 and have picked up the minimum time amount of namely packing into or unloading box type container 103, thereby caused transmission efficiency lower.
Owing to be subjected to the restriction of manipulator 132 quantity, and the overhead track restriction of arranging, under the situation that can only allow a waggon 122 to unload at every turn or pack into since exist pack into, during stagnant in the uninstall process, conveyance efficient can't be improved effectively.
And, because the layout of overhead track, manipulator 132 is to adopt the mode of upwards extracting box type container 103, in lifting process, need overcome the weight that material brings in the box type container 103, and the process that promotes also needs the regular hour, therefore, because the upwards extracting mode of manipulator 132, and the arranging of overhead track, not only consumed more energy, and increased haulage time, this has increased unnecessary cost virtually; In addition, if the material in the box type container 103 is overweight, manipulator upwards extracts the danger that exists box type container 103 to fall in the process of box type container 103.
