Overview of Adjustable Wafer Box

The Adjustable Wafer Box is a premium storage and transport solution engineered for the semiconductor industry. Constructed from high-grade polycarbonate (PC), this carrier ensures robust protection for delicate wafers across various stages of production, inspection, and global shipment. The adjustable interior design accommodates multiple wafer diameters, making it a versatile choice for fabs, laboratories, and R&D centers.

Why Polycarbonate (PC) is the Optimal Material

Polycarbonate stands out as the material of choice for wafer carriers due to its unique combination of optical transparency, mechanical strength, and resistance to harsh environments. Its clarity allows cleanroom personnel to inspect wafers without breaking the seal, significantly minimizing contamination risks.

Key benefits of PC include:

• Exceptional Light Transmission (>85%) – Ensures clear visibility of stored wafers.

• Superior Impact Resistance – Withstands drops and mechanical shocks, maintaining wafer integrity.

• Low Particle Generation – Suitable for ISO Class 5–7 environments.

• Thermal & Chemical Resilience – Compatible with IPA and most cleanroom solvents, supporting routine sanitization.

• Optional Enhancements – Anti-static coatings or surface treatments can further improve ESD protection and minimize dust adherence.

Innovative Features of the Adjustable Wafer Box

• Full Transparency: Provides unobstructed visibility for quick inspection.

• Customizable Support Pegs: Internal pegs adjust to hold wafers of varying diameters (4”, 6”, 8”).

• Secure Closure System: A hinged lid with a locking mechanism ensures airtight protection against contamination.

• Chemical Resistance: Maintains performance under repeated exposure to cleaning agents and mild chemicals.

Applications of Adjustable Wafer Box

• Semiconductor Wafers (Si, SiC, GaN, GaAs): Safeguards fragile wafers at different process stages.

• Optoelectronic Materials: Protects sapphire, glass, and specialty substrates for LEDs and display panels.

• Research & Development: Perfect for laboratories working with various wafer sizes.

• International Logistics: Reliable reusable packaging for shipping wafers to partner facilities.

FAQ of Adjustable Wafer Box

Q1: Why choose a polycarbonate wafer box instead of acrylic?
PC offers superior impact strength and will not shatter, while acrylic (PMMA) can crack under stress.

Q2: Can PC withstand cleanroom cleaning agents?
Yes. PC tolerates IPA (isopropyl alcohol) and other solvents used for standard cleaning, but strong alkalis should be avoided for prolonged exposure.

Q3: Is the Adjustable Wafer Box suitable for fully automated wafer handling?
Many PC wafer boxes, including this design, can be adapted for manual or robotic handling, depending on production requirements.

Q4: Can Adjustable Wafer Box be reused multiple times?
Absolutely. PC boxes are reusable for dozens or even hundreds of cycles, making them cost-effective and eco-friendly.
