Abstract

See full text

An integrated miniature factory for fabrication of a device and a method for using such a factory are provided. In one example, the factory includes two enclosures that can be adapted for stand-alone operation. Compartmentalized process modules are configured to removably couple to each of the enclosures. Each compartmentalized process module is sized to receive a substrate on which the device is to be fabricated and is configured to aid in fabrication of the device. The two enclosures are also adaptable to be coupled to one another. A transportation mechanism configured to transfer the substrate between the compartmentalized process modules in one of the enclosures may also be configured to transfer the substrate between the two enclosures. One example of the method includes processing a substrate using the compartmentalized process modules to form a bonded substrate.
