Novel surface profiler system for inspection of the display components is demonstrated In the case of the liquid crystal display, for example, not only the flatness of the alignment film but also the quality of rubbing can be inspected. Furthermore, the shape of the component such as the color filter, electrode and mirror can be inspected without removing each component.

Flow field in a roller conveyor system, induced from the movement of a cassette in which glasses for flat panel display are loaded, is numerically studied in this paper. Contamination on the glass surface by dust particles produced from mechanical friction between roller and cassette is predicted from the analysis results of flow fields. Results show that a large swirl flow is formed under the moving cassette with constant speed. This swirl flow is confined only under the cassette because two main streams from the backward and the fan filter unit on the top ceiling are sufficiently strong. Therefore, it can be said that possibility of the contamination by the particles originated from the friction is relatively low. It is also revealed that flow direction between glass plates is changed according to the speed of the cassette movement due to the shear force of glass plates.

Low temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) technology using a high power laser have been widely applied to thin film transistors (TFTs) for liquid crystal, organic light emitting diode (OLED) display, driver circuit for system on glass (SOG) and static random access memory (SRAM). Recently, the semiconductor industry is continuing its quest to create even more powerful CPU and memory chips. This requires increasing of individual device speed through the continual reduction of the minimum size of device features and increasing of device density on the chip. Moreover, the flat panel display industry also need to be brighter, with richer more vivid color, wider viewing angle, have faster video capability and be more durable at lower cost. Kornic Systems Co., Ltd. developed the $KORONA^{TM}$ LTP/GLTP series - an innovative production tool for fabricating flat panel displays and semiconductor devices - to meet these growing market demands and advance the volume production capabilities of flat panel displays and semiconductor industry. The $KORONA^{TM}\;LTP/GLTP$ series using DPSS laser and XeCl excimer laser is designed for the new generation of the wafer & FPD glass annealing processing equipment combining advanced low temperature poly-silicon (LTPS) crystallization technology and object-oriented software architecture with a semistandard graphical user interface (GUI). These leading edge systems show the superior annealing ability to the conventional other method. The $KORONA^{TM}\;LTP/GLTP$ series provides technical and economical benefits of advanced annealing solution to semiconductor and FPD production performance with an exceptional level of productivity. High throughput, low cost of ownership and optimized system efficiency brings the highest yield and lowest cost per wafer/glass on the annealing market.

In recent semiconductor and FPD (Flat Panel Display) manufacturing processes, high clean-class delivery operation is required more and more for short working time and better product quality. Traditionally SLIM (Single-sided Linear Induction Motor) is widely used in the liner drive applications because of its simplicity in the rail structure. A magnetically levitated (Maglev) unmanned vehicle with SLIM traction, which is powered by a CPS (Contactless Power Supply) can be a high precision delivery solution for this industry. In this paper unmanned FPD-carrying vehicle, which can levitate without contacting the rail structure, is suggested for high clean-class FPD delivery applications. It can be more acceptable for the complex facilities composed with many processes which require longer rails, because of simple rail structure. The test setup consists of a test vehicle and a rounded rail, in which the vehicle can load and unload products at arbitrary position commanded through wireless communications of host computer. The experimental results show that the suggested vehicle and rail have reasonable traction servo and robust electromagnetic suspensions without any contact. The resolution of point servo errors in the SLIM traction system is accomplished under 1mm. The maximum gap error is ${\pm}0.25mm$ with nominal air gap length of 4.0mm in the electromagnetic suspensions. This type of automated delivery vehicle is expected to have significant role in the clean delivery like FPD glass delivery.

An OpenLDI receiver circuit for flat-panel display systems was designed and fabricated using $1.8-{\mu}m$ high-voltage CMOS technology. Designed circuit roughly consists of DLL circuit and parallelizers, which recovers clock and parallelize data bits, respectably. It has one clock input and four data inputs. Measurement results showed that it successfully recovers clock signal from input whose frequency is $10Mhz{\sim}65Mhz$, which corresponds data rate of $70Mbps{\sim}455Mbps$ per channel, or $280Mbps{\sim}1.82Gbps$ when all of the four data channels were utilized. A commercial LCD monitor was modified into a test-bench and used for video data transmission at clock frequency of 49Mhz. In the experiment, power consumption was 19mW for core block and 82.5mW for output buffer.

FPD (Flat Panel Display) 제조 공정에서 사용되는 패턴은 수 ${\mu}m$ 수준까지 감소하였으며, FPD의 크기는 급격하게 대형화 되여 현재 8세대(2200mm*2500mm)에 이르고 있다. 이에 따라, $1\;{\mu}m$ 이상의 크기를 갖는 오염입자에 의한 수율 저하를 극복하기 위한 세정효율의 향상 및 다량의 초순수 사용에 따른 폐수 발생으로 인한 환경오염, 또한 장비의 크기에 따른 공간 효용성 감소와 이에 따른 공정 비용의 증가 등의 어려움에 직면하고 있다. 따라서, 현장에서는 고효율, 저비용의 세정 공정 기술 개발에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이러한 문제점들을 해결 하고자 이류체 노즐 세정 장치와, 화학액 린스를 위한 초순수 Spray, 건조 공정에 해당하는 Air-knife, Halogen lamp로 구성된 소형화 된 고속 FPD(Flat Panel Display) 세정기에 대한 연구를 진행 하였다. 이류체 노즐은 초순수와 $N_2$ 가스를 내부에서 혼합하여 액적(Droplet)을 형성하여 고압으로 분사시키는 장치로서 화학액을 사용하지 않고 물리적인 방법으로 오염입자를 제거한다. Spray는 유기 오염입자 제거를 위한 오존수의 린스 공정을 위해 설치 하였다. 세정 후 표면에 남아있는 기판의 액막(water film)은 고압의 가스를 분사하는 Air-knife를 통해 제거하였으며, 고속 공정시 발생할 수 있는 Air-knife에서 제거하지 못한 잔류 액막을 Halogen lamp를 사용하여 효과적으로 제거함으로써, 물반점(water mark) 없는 건조 공정을 얻을 수 있었다. 실험에는 미세 입자의 정량적인 측정을 위하여 유리 기판 대신에 6인치 실리콘 웨이퍼(P-type (100))를 사용하였으며, > $\;1{\mu}m$ 실리카 입자를 스핀방식을 사용하여 정량적으로 균일하게 오염하였으며, 오염물의 개수 및 분포는 파티클 스캐너 (Surfscan 6200, KLA-Tancor, USA)를 사용하여 분포 및 개수를 정량적으로 측정 하였다. 이류체 노즐은 $N_2$ 가스의 압력과 초순수의 압력을 변화시켜 측정하여, 각각 0.20 MPa, 0.01 MPa에서 최적의 세정 결과를 얻을 수 있었으며, 건조 효율은 Air-Knife의 입사 각도와 건조면 간격, 할로겐 램프의 온도를 조절 하여 최적의 조건을 얻을 수 있었다.
