Inline Equipment Front End Module (EFEM)

NADAtech EFEMs are the industry-standard interface for advanced process, inspection, and metrology tools. Built on our proven T-Series platform, these systems deliver the performance and configurability OEMs demand—especially where off-the-shelf solutions fall short. Unlike one-size-fits-all EFEM suppliers, NADAtech continues to provide purpose-built, carrier-compatible systems with the flexibility and detail required for today’s complex wafer workflows.

Mini Loader (EFEM+)

NADAtech's automated mini loaders offer users the flexibility of automating the process of transferring wafers from cassettes or FOUPs to OEM processing systems as well as inspection and metrology modules. These mini loaders can handle tasks like wafer pick and place, notch alignment and wafer centering, and Optical Character Recognition (OCR). Throughputs can be configured to customer requirements depending on the job files required to complete the needed tasks.  Give us a call today to discuss your automation needs.
