Standard Mechanical Interface (SMIF) pods and Front Opening Unified Pod (FOUP) carriers are based on an insolation technology developed in the 1980s at Hewlett-Packard, which are now widely used in semiconductor wafer fabrication and cleanroom environments worldwide. These systems play a critical role in wafer handling and photomask reticle handling, ensuring contamination-free operations. H-Square’s pod openers offer a cost-effective solution for accessing substrate storage pod carriers. With a comprehensive range of automated and manual stand-alone tools, H-Square provides reliable and efficient solutions to meet the needs of modern semiconductor manufacturing processes.
