The semiconductor industry is a dynamic and innovative sector that underpins modern technology. However, due to their moisture sensitivity, semiconductor components require reliable solutions to ensure optimal quality and reliability throughout the production process. Dr. Storage recognizes the critical role of industrial dry cabinets in the semiconductor industry and highlights their ability to improve product yield and maintain exceptional product quality.
In the semiconductor industry, five key materials demand proper storage in a dry environment: wafers, substrates, tapes, silicon dies, and packaging materials.
Exposure to moisture can lead to various issues:
01
Wafers, which form the foundation of semiconductor devices, may experience size variations and loss of flatness when exposed to moisture, adversely affecting subsequent processes' accuracy and performance.
02
Substrates, used as carriers for semiconductor devices, can corrode or oxidize when moisture penetrates micro-pores or cracks, damaging the substrate surface and insulation layer, thereby impacting device performance and reliability.
03
Tapes, commonly employed to secure wafers or substrates during semiconductor fabrication, may exhibit reduced adhesiveness or softened adhesive layers in humid environments. This can result in tape failure or detachment, compromising production efficiency and product quality.
04
Silicon dies, the core components of semiconductor devices, may undergo corrosion reactions when exposed to moisture, leading to connection failure or open circuits within the silicon die's metal interconnects or wires. This reduces component performance or causes complete failure.
05
Packaging materials, utilized to safeguard semiconductor components and silicon dies, can absorb moisture in humid environments, leading to diminished insulation performance or the occurrence of cracking. This compromises component integrity and reliability.
To ensure the quality and performance of these crucial materials, Dr. Storage provides controlled environmental
solutions through our dry cabinets. Our solutions maintain optimal conditions during storage, addressing the specific
preservation requirements of IC packaging.
Our X2B series, compliant with international standard J-STD-033D, ensures an extremely low humidity of 5% RH for the
permanent storage of moisture-sensitive components, safeguarding their performance, quality, and providing unlimited
floor life.
