Cost wise competitive, leading with the highest reliability, Conveyor networks outperform all other fab dispatch systems in throughput and cycle time performance. We would most welcome an opportunity to provide a quotation for comparison to other systems.

Middlesex is a provider of turn key material handling system installations (AMHS) for the Semiconductor industry. Our model is based on a conveyor transport network, integrated across inter and intra bay spaces without discontinuity, at ceiling level. Stockers at strategic locations also use ceiling space wherever available. All transport lots are dispatched and monitored by a conveyor specific control system, under an MES supervisor.

Wafer form factors of 200 mm or less employ floor level buffers and manual interface to process tools. The 300 mm form factor wafer fabs use ceiling mounted buffers and hoist type interface to process tools.

Both system types are available in class one form for open wafer handling environments. While the 200 mm transport network is capable of transporting various types of open or closed wafer carriers, the 300 mm transport network is focused on transporting the FOUP.
