Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of silicon wafer storage boxes, specifically, it relates to a storage box that facilitates the placement and removal of semiconductor silicon wafers. Background Technology

[0002] Semiconductor silicon wafers are thin films made from high-purity polycrystalline silicon as raw material, formed by monocrystalline silicon fabrication processes to create silicon rods, which are then finely cut. They are the basic material for manufacturing chips and play a crucial role in the semiconductor industry chain. In the production process of semiconductor silicon wafers, silicon rods are cut into thin wafers, which are then further processed to form the semiconductor silicon wafers we commonly see. Because silicon wafers need to be handled and transported during production, storage devices are used to temporarily hold them. Most existing silicon wafer storage devices are basket structures, with the wafers placed in the baskets. While the basket structure facilitates wafer transport, the wafers are exposed to the external environment, making them susceptible to contamination during handling, handling, and storage. There is also a risk that the wafers may fall out of the baskets.

[0003] In view of this, this utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content
