FIXLOAD


 

Brooks' FIXLOAD™ is the industry's most widely accepted 300mm load port  for FOUPs (Front Opening Unified Pod)with already more than 16,000 units sold worldwide. In 1995, our company introduced the revolutionary Front Opening System to the market - today, Brooks is the leader in the 300mm load port market with the most clean and reliable BOLTS interface solutions.

And here is how it works:
The FIXLOAD, which is directly integrated into the process tool, receives a FOUP, docks it to the equipment and removes the FOUP door. Wafers may now be accessed by a handler to be transferred into the process tool without the risk of particle contamination.
