3M Introduces 300mm Horizontal Wafer Shipper - The First 300mm Horizontal Wafer Shipping Solution to Offer Optional Seal To Minimize Contamination -.ST. PAUL St. Paul as a missionary he fearlessly confronts the “perils of waters, of robbers, in the city, in the wilderness.” [N.T.: II Cor. 11:26] See : Bravery , Minn. -- 3M today announced the availability of its first 300mm Horizontal Wafer Shipper SHIPPER. One who ships or puts goods on board of a vessel, to be carried to another place during her voyage. In general, the shipper is bound to pay for the hire of the vessel, or the freight of the goods. 1 Bouv. Inst. n. 1030. solution at SEMICON SEMICON Semiconductors Equipment and Material International Conference West, in San Francisco San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden . The 300mm Horizontal Wafer Shipper from 3M is the industry's first to offer an optional seal to reduce corrosion, decrease contamination and reduce moisture vapor transmission. In addition to being cost efficient, the 300mm Horizontal Wafer Shipper is compatible with automated equipment, which is essential when handling 300mm wafers. "Customers are looking to benefit from the larger and thinner 300mm wafer technology which offers significant operational efficiencies with 225 percent more surface area," said Becky Stroh, business manager, 3M Industrial Services and Solutions Division. "Shipping these fragile and increasingly valuable wafers is a significant challenge. Our unique design incorporates several new features for longer shelf life, automation efficiency, wafer protection and cost savings." The wafer market has seen dramatic increases in demand for 300mm wafers. In fact, according to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. a report from Wafer Trends Inc., the demand for 300mm wafers has more than doubled in the last three years. In addition, the number of 300mm wafers produced and shipped is expected to increase to 11.5 million in 2006, up from 7.5 million in 2004, according to SEMI's Silicon Manufacturing Group (SMG SMG - Screen Management Guidelines. A VMS package of run-time library routines providing windows on DEC VT100 terminals. ) 2003 Consensus Forecast. Through its world-class innovation, 3M has developed a more robust wafer shipping solution with new features and functionality, including nesting capabilities that enable secure inventory, ergonomic ergonomic - Concerning ergonomics or exhibitting good ergonimics. handling to support worker safety and secure latch features that keep the shipper locked during transportation but enables it to open easily upon delivery. The cost of creating high-quality 300mm wafers is significant, and manufacturers need to carefully manage handling and shipping costs, while helping to assure safe delivery of their products. 3M's solution also has an innovative seal technology, which may even eliminate the need for a secondary barrier bag. The 300mm Horizontal Wafer Shipper from 3M also features structural integrity that helps protect wafers from shock and vibration, while guarding them from electrostatic discharge (hardware, testing) Electrostatic Discharge - (ESD) One kind of test that hardware usually has to pass to prove it is suitable for sale and use. The hardware must still work after is has been subjected to some level of electrostatic discharge. . The 300mm Horizontal Wafer Shipper from 3M joins a suite of complete wafer transport solutions designed to optimize the entire packing and shipping process by addressing issues affecting freight cost, product protection, waste management and environmental impact. 3M's worldwide network for implementation and support can help a global manufacturer with standardization of processes and materials across their global supply chain. Along with 3M's professional services (job) professional services - A department of a supplier providing consultancy and programming manpower for the supplier's products. , analytical capabilities and decades of experience addressing the many challenges of product and component transport, customers can increase efficiencies while driving down wafer transport cost. "Our commitment to developing world-class wafer transport system solutions is demonstrated by the introduction of our 300mm Horizontal Wafer Shipper," said Takehiko Nakamura, product manager, 3M Industrial Services and Solutions Division. "As an added benefit, 3M's global implementation and support services support services Psychology Non-health care-related ancillary services–eg, transportation, financial aid, support groups, homemaker services, respite services, and other services are available to assist wafer manufacturers in addressing all these issues and more, in their drive to compete in the worldwide semiconductor market."
