As part of the project, Crossing developed customized ATS software for solar cell carriers throughout the fab, carrier racks were incorporated with additional sensors to ensure proper placement on the rack, and the solar rack design and the layout itself was developed with input from the customer.
The complete installation allows the fab to track solar cell lots by performance and efficiency, maintain production records for quality, reduce time for manually tagging carriers and eliminate binning errors.
With radio frequency identification (RFID) carrier large read/write capability and tracking from HOST computer, cell carriers are managed for assignment to the next production step.
Crossing Automation is a supplier of vacuum and atmospheric automation solutions, and materials tracking and engineering services to high volume semiconductor equipment manufacturers, IC, LED and solar manufacturers, and other adjacent markets.
