Production Equipment
Chip factories typically have the following types of equipment:
1. Manufacturing equipment - used to make circuits on silicon wafers.
2. Testing equipment - Check if the chip is working properly.
3. Packaging equipment - encapsulate circuits into usable shapes.
4. Test equipment - Test the functionality of the encapsulated circuit.
5. Cleaning equipment - Perform cleaning work on circuits and parts.
6. Automation equipment - Helps perform some automated tasks.
7. Analysis equipment - Analyze the quality and performance of circuits.
8. Control system - monitoring and controlling the entire manufacturing process.
9. Research and development tools - for designing new circuits.
10. Environmental control equipment - Maintain suitable conditions for the manufacturing environment.
These devices assist in manufacturing various products such as computer chips.
