Do not determine antistatic performance solely from the color of a transparent, black, or black-base clear-lid box. Only models explicitly marked as antistatic should be managed as antistatic products. Confirm the surface-resistance range and antistatic grade before purchase.

Main Applications

Silicon Piece and Wafer Storage

For organized storage of full wafers, diced silicon pieces, SOI, SiC, and functional coated substrates.

Suitable for transfer of bare dies, MEMS devices, sensor chips, and microelectronic components.

Optical Component Protection

Suitable for small glass pieces, filters, optical windows, and precision optical components.

Electrostatic-Sensitive Devices

Antistatic models are suitable for chips and electronic devices sensitive to electrostatic discharge.

Laboratory Sample Management

For labeling and classifying samples by batch, size, coating, and processing status.

Cleanroom Transfer

Suitable for internal sample transfer in laboratories, cleanrooms, and micro-/nanofabrication facilities.

Transport and Delivery Protection

Reduces sliding, impact, and scratching during shipping, handling, and handover.

Materials Characterization Preparation

Supports organized storage and transfer of test samples to SEM, AFM, XRD, and other instruments.

Particle and Dust Management

Use dust-removal sheets to remove loose particles from boxes, tools, and work areas.

Selection Guide

Direct Sample Observation: Choose a fully transparent self-adhesive box to verify sample quantity, position, and labels without opening the lid.
Observation of Light-Colored Samples: Choose a black-base clear-lid structure to improve outline contrast for light-colored wafers and transparent components.
Light-Shielded Storage: A fully black box may be selected, but verify its actual light-blocking capability for photosensitive samples.
Electrostatic-Sensitive Chips: Choose a 5510 or 8512 model explicitly marked as antistatic and confirm the surface-resistance grade.
Large Wafers: Use the 4-inch low-pressure release box for 4-inch wafers and the corresponding wafer box for 12-inch wafers.
Removable Tray Required: Choose Tray 5050 with a removable self-adhesive base for loading, observation, and complete sample transfer.
Frequent Transfer: Confirm lid locking, tray retention, wear resistance, internal clearance, and cleaning method.
High Cleanliness Requirements: Inspect cleanliness before use and avoid taking ordinary packaging materials directly into clean areas.

How to Use

Confirm Box Specifications

Verify the model, usable internal area, sample thickness, antistatic property, and quantity.

Inspect Cleanliness

Confirm that the box is free of particles, debris, oil, damage, and abnormal deformation.

Wear Clean Gloves

Use powder-free gloves, finger cots, or antistatic tools and avoid touching samples with bare fingers.

Place the Sample Gently

Place the wafer horizontally at the center of the adhesive tray and avoid dragging or edge impact.

Close the Lid Smoothly

Confirm that the sample remains within the support area, close the lid slowly, and check the lock.

Create a Label

Label the sample name, size, batch, processing status, date, and operator.

Store by Category

Store separately by material, coating, batch, and electrostatic-sensitivity level.

Inspect Regularly

Check box cleanliness, tray adhesion, lid deformation, and label integrity.

Handling and Storage Precautions

Avoid Dragging Samples

Place and remove wafers vertically to avoid lateral dragging across the tray surface.

Control Sample Thickness

Excessive sample thickness may contact the lid, causing compression, scratches, or failure to close.

Use Grounding with Antistatic Models

Antistatic boxes should still be used with a grounded workstation, antistatic wrist strap, and proper handling procedures.

Avoid Strong Solvent Cleaning

Confirm material compatibility before using solvents to prevent cracking, deformation, or surface haze.

Keep Dust-Removal Sheets off Functional Surfaces

Dust-removal sheets should not be applied directly to polished wafer surfaces, coated surfaces, or precision optical surfaces.

Store Clean and Dry

Keep boxes and supplies away from high temperatures, high humidity, dust, corrosive gases, and intense UV exposure.

FAQ

1. How does a self-adhesive box hold a wafer?

A self-adhesive box usually supports the sample on a tray with adhesive or conformal holding capability, reducing wafer movement inside the box. The exact holding method, release force, and compatible surface depend on the specific model.

2. What do the numbers 5510, 7515, and 8512 mean?

These numbers are retained as original product codes and should not be interpreted as internal dimensions without confirming the manufacturer's definition. Before ordering, verify the external dimensions, usable internal area, and permitted sample thickness.

3. How should fully transparent, fully black, and black-base clear-lid boxes be selected?

Fully transparent boxes support direct observation; fully black boxes are useful for classification or reducing external light; black-base clear-lid boxes combine visibility with outline contrast. Color does not indicate antistatic performance.

4. Is every black self-adhesive box antistatic?

No. Only models explicitly identified as antistatic should be managed as antistatic products. A standard fully black box may indicate color only, so antistatic parameters must be confirmed separately.

5. Can an antistatic self-adhesive box completely prevent electrostatic damage?

Not by itself. Antistatic boxes should be combined with grounded workstations, antistatic wrist straps, ionizers, proper packaging, and an ESD-control procedure.

6. Can these boxes store gold-coated, silver-coated, or two-dimensional-material samples?

Yes, but confirm that the adhesive tray will not contaminate, adhere to, or damage the functional surface. For sensitive coatings, perform a small compatibility test and avoid direct contact between the functional surface and the tray whenever possible.

7. What are the advantages of the removable Tray 5050 base?

The removable tray allows a complete sample group to be lifted out of the outer box for loading, observation, microscopy, transfer, and separate tray cleaning.

8. Can a dust-removal sheet be used directly on a wafer surface?

Direct contact with polished wafer surfaces, metal coatings, two-dimensional materials, or optical functional surfaces is not recommended. Dust-removal sheets are better suited to loose particles on boxes, tools, work surfaces, and noncritical areas.

9. Can wafer boxes be cleaned with alcohol or other solvents?

First confirm the solvent resistance of the box and tray materials. Some plastics may crack, deform, haze, or lose holding performance after contact with alcohol, acetone, or other solvents.

10. Which parameters should be confirmed before ordering?

Confirm sample size and thickness, box model, usable internal area, color configuration, antistatic requirement, removable-tray requirement, operating environment, quantity, and packaging method.

Product Summary

The range includes 4-inch and 12-inch wafer boxes, standard self-adhesive boxes from 3020 to 15020, antistatic 5510 and 8512 boxes, the removable Tray 5050 base, and ZPS-8050 dust-removal sheets. Transparent structures support direct observation, black structures support classification and reduced light exposure, black-base clear-lid structures combine inspection with contrast, and antistatic models are intended for electrostatic-sensitive chips and devices. Confirm usable internal dimensions, sample thickness, antistatic grade, tray structure, and material compatibility before purchase.
