BlueShift Technologies markets compact, configurable wafer handling systems and software that introduce a new level of automation flexibility in semiconductor manufacturing. With its patent pending designs, BlueShift systems decrease factory cycle time, while reducing equipment footprint by 40% and costs by 30%. BlueShift’s linkable vacuum wafer handling systems set the stage for a linear, scalable approach to semiconductor manufacturing of 300mm and 450mm wafers by transforming cluster tool process equipment layouts that date back to the 1980’s to more efficient linear flows.
