1 Inch Single Wafer Cassette for ESD-Safe Wafer Storage
The 1-inch wafer cassette is a specialized container designed for storing, transporting, and automated handling of 1-inch (25.4mm) wafers in semiconductor manufacturing, optoelectronic devices, and microelectronics R&D. Manufactured from high-purity polymers (such as PEEK or PVDF) or antistatic materials, it ensures wafer protection against contamination, electrostatic damage, and physical impact in cleanroom environments. Compliant with SEMI standards, the cassette is suitable for automated wafer transfer systems in processes including MOCVD, PECVD, lithography, and etching.
