The semiconductor industry is a rapidly evolving sector that is critical to modern technology. Given the moisture sensitivity of semiconductor components, reliable solutions are essential to maintain optimal quality and performance throughout the production process. Dr. Storage understands the pivotal role industrial dry cabinets play in the semiconductor industry, showcasing their capability to enhance product yield and ensure outstanding quality.
The semiconductor industry requires proper dry storage for five crucial materials: wafers, substrates, adhesive tapes, silicon dies, and packaging materials.
Moisture exposure can result in several significant issues, including:
01
Wafer
Wafers, the foundational elements of semiconductor devices, can suffer from size variations and loss of flatness due to moisture, negatively impacting the accuracy and performance of subsequent processes.
02
Substrates
Substrates, which act as carriers for semiconductor devices, are prone to corrosion or oxidation if moisture infiltrates micro-pores or cracks, damaging the surface and insulation and impacting device reliability.
03
Tapes
Tapes used to secure wafers or substrates during fabrication can lose adhesion or soften in high humidity, leading to potential tape failure and compromising production efficiency and quality.
04
Silicon dies
Silicon dies, the core of semiconductor devices, may corrode when exposed to moisture, leading to connection failures or open circuits and ultimately reducing component performance or causing total failure.
05
Packaging materials
Packaging materials designed to protect semiconductor components and silicon dies can absorb moisture in humid environments, resulting in reduced insulation performance and potential cracking, jeopardizing component integrity and reliability.
To guarantee the quality and performance of these vital materials, Dr. Storage offers advanced controlled environmental solutions through our dry cabinets. Our cabinets maintain optimal storage conditions, precisely meeting the preservation needs 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.
