SEMICONDUCTOR WAFER WEIGHING APPARATUS AND METHODS |
摘要 |
A semiconductor wafer weighing apparatus comprises: a weight force measuring device for measuring a weight force of a semiconductor wafer; and control means configured to control an operation of the apparatus based on detection of acceleration of the apparatus or of a semiconductor wafer loaded on the apparatus by a detector for detecting acceleration of the apparatus or of a semiconductor wafer loaded on the apparatus; wherein: the control means is arranged to determine an error in the output of the weight force measuring device caused by an acceleration of the apparatus or of a semiconductor wafer loaded on the apparatus, using a predetermined relationship that matches the error in the output of the weight force measuring device to acceleration of the apparatus or of a semiconductor wafer loaded on the apparatus for different accelerations of the apparatus or of a semiconductor wafer loaded on the apparatus. |
