How to Choose the Right Linear Modules for the Semiconductor Industry?

In the semiconductor industry, motion control isn't just about movement—it’s about sub-micron reliability. Whether you are building equipment for wafer inspection, chip packaging, or high-speed sorting, the linear module is the heart of your machine.

Drawing from Gaogong Intelligent Transmission’s extensive product line, here is how to select the ideal series for your semiconductor applications.


1. High-Precision Positioning: GTH Series (Ball Screw)

For front-end processes like wafer scanning or lithography support, precision is non-negotiable.

  • Product Fit: The GTH Series (GTH8, GTH11, GTH14, GTH17) utilizes high-precision ball screws to ensure minimal backlash.

  • Key Specs: Offers a repeatability of ±0.01mm.

  • Application: Ideal for Wafer Probing and Precision Coating where a maximum payload of up to 150kg (for GTH22) might be required for heavy sensor arrays.

2. Space-Constrained Equipment: GGK Series (Integrated Base)

Semiconductor tools often require compact designs to fit into expensive cleanroom floor space.

  • Product Fit: The GGK Series (GGK40, GGK50, GGK60, GGK86). These modules feature an integrated "U-shape" outer rail that combines the guide and the base into one piece.

  • Why it works: It provides high rigidity in a significantly smaller footprint.

  • Application: Perfect for Electronic Component Testing and Optical Inspection where space is at a premium.

3. Cleanroom & Anti-Dust Requirements: GCH & GCB Series

Contamination can ruin an entire batch of silicon wafers. In sensitive semiconductor environments, fully enclosed structures are essential to maintain air purity.

  • Product Fit: The GCH Series (Full-Enclosed Ball Screw) and GCB Series (Full-Enclosed Belt Drive).

  • Key Advantage: These series feature a stainless steel strip seal or a fully enclosed housing that prevents particles from escaping into the cleanroom while protecting the internal drive components from external debris.

  • Application: Essential for ISO-certified Cleanroom environments, vacuum-compatible stages, and dust-free automated production lines.

4. High-Speed Handling: GTB Series (Belt Drive)

For backend processes like packaging and logistics, throughput (speed) is the priority.

  • Product Fit: The GTB Series (GTB10, GTB12, GTB14, GTB17, GTB22).

  • Performance: Capable of high-speed travel up to 5000mm/s with long strokes up to 3050mm.

  • Application: Best for Pick-and-Place robots and Automated Material Handling Systems (AMHS) in semiconductor fabs.
