On June 19, the Semiconductor Equipment Safety and Sustainable Development Seminar was grandly held in Nanshan District, Shenzhen. This seminar focused on topics such as semiconductor equipment safety certification standards, international market access regulations, carbon footprint management under the ESG framework, and green manufacturing—providing forward-looking insights for participants across the industry chain and empowering the sector’s high-quality development. As a leading Chinese enterprise specializing in domestic semiconductor robotic equipment, STEP Zhongweixing was invited to participate in this seminar. At the same time, Awarded TBA Series Wafer Transfer Robot SIME S2 Certification 。
STEP Zhongweixing has been awarded the SEME S2 certificate by TÜV Rheinland, a German certification body.
SEMI S2: The “Gold Standard” for Industrial Safety and Quality
SEMI S2, formally known as the “Guidelines for Environmental, Health, and Safety of Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment,” is far from being an ordinary certification. It is widely recognized across the global semiconductor industry as one of the most comprehensive and stringent guidelines for environmental, health, and safety (EHS) considerations in manufacturing equipment. Although originally developed for the semiconductor industry, its rigorous requirements for equipment design, manufacturing, and operational safety have become the “gold standard” for evaluating the quality, reliability, and stability of any high-end industrial automation equipment—including semiconductor robots.
As a leading Chinese manufacturer of semiconductor robotics equipment, STEP Zhongweixing has consistently refined the stability and performance metrics of its semiconductor robot series to ensure the safety and reliability of semiconductor wafer robots and provide customers with efficient and dependable wafer-handling solutions. In addition to the recent certification of its TBA series dual-arm cylindrical-coordinate wafer-handling robots, STEP Zhongweixing’s CA series, SA series, and TA series semiconductor wafer robots have previously obtained the prestigious SEMI S2 certification, laying a solid foundation for the high-quality development of China’s domestic semiconductor industry. The attainment of the SEMI S2 certification serves as an authoritative endorsement of the exceptional standards—particularly in safety and reliability—that STEP Zhongweixing’s robotic products have achieved on the global stage.

Core Product Strength: Complete Replacement of Domestic Equipment
In addition, as a high-quality domestic robotics manufacturer, STEPizhong Weixing also boasts the capability to provide customized, non-standard solutions tailored to the specific process stages of semiconductor manufacturing for different wafer manufacturers. By deploying customized products that are precisely adapted to local conditions and time-specific requirements, we can better align with the existing production line’s needs, comprehensively enhancing chip production efficiency and yield rates.
Since its official launch into the market in 2020, STEP Zhongweixing has refined its domestically leading product portfolio of semiconductor wafer-handling robots, covering eight major series with dozens of different models tailored for both atmospheric and vacuum environments. These products are capable of supporting front-end and back-end semiconductor manufacturing processes—including thermal processing, cleaning, etching, thin-film deposition, photolithography, wafer thinning, and bonding—and can fully replace imported equipment. They have already been deployed in large volumes at front-end fabs producing analog chips, power chips, sensor chips, and LED chips.
As the semiconductor product portfolio and certifications continue to evolve and improve, it signifies that STEP Zhongweixing—whose core business lies in motion control and robot body R&D—is demonstrating inherent technological advantages in the field of semiconductor wafer-handling equipment. This not only provides robust support for semiconductor customers but also underscores STEP Zhongweixing’s forward-looking vision and unwavering commitment as a leading domestic robotics company, offering strong backing for the ongoing drive toward domestic substitution in the semiconductor industry.
