Custom Software

We have the ability to modify and add features to the steppers running Master Operating Programs (MOPs) versions 605.x through 7.x. These MOPs are tasks running under the RSX-11M+ DEC operating system. We can do customisation upon request. Currently, we offer the following software which was written to keep users out of the 'MODE' command so that they can't inadvertently make changes that affect the operation of the stepper.
  • CHUK.TSK - make changes to the current chuck size
  • LCOR.TSK - make changes to the loading corrections
  • AMOD.TSK - globally change user accounts to control access to MOP commands (mode, acnt, etc.)

Note : we have also extended the standard chuck size options to include non-standard wafer sizes, and parts of a wafer (e.g. 2inch wafer, 10mm square , 15mm square etc) with corresponding automatic corrections to the wafer levelling points.
