T-Robotics Completes Japanese Patent Registration for Semiconductor Glass Substrate Transfer Robot
T-Robotics announced on May 28 that it has completed the registration of its Japanese patent for vacuum robot technology used in semiconductor glass substrate transfer. This patent covers a substrate transfer device that operates within a vacuum chamber, representing vacuum robot technology optimized for the semiconductor glass substrate processing environment.
Previously, last year, T-Robotics unveiled its vacuum robot for glass substrate transfer at SEMICON Korea (SEDEX 2025).The robot offers omnidirectional handling and supports multi-chamber applications, while also enhancing performance in high-purity vacuum environments.
Recently, the importance of glass substrate processes has been highlighted due to the expansion of the next-generation semiconductor packaging and high-performance artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor markets, leading to increased equipment demand. Compared to conventional printed circuit boards (PCBs), glass substrates offer higher flatness and are advantageous for implementing fine circuits, making them a core technology as the AI server and high bandwidth memory (HBM) markets grow.
T-Robotics, the only domestic developer of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) vacuum robots, has developed a vacuum robot for glass substrate transfer based on its 8.6-generation OLED transfer robot technology. The company supplies vacuum robots to Samsung Display, LG Display, Chinese display manufacturer BOE, and a U.S.-based company A, among others.
The company plans to expand into new high value-added markets focused on glass substrates and advanced packaging processes. It will also continue to grow its customer base in the global semiconductor equipment market, including Japan, and pursue additional patent registrations.
