HONGKE SOLUTIONS] TSMC chose MSR to ensure the quality of photomask transportation! Includes interview with TSMC engineers

What do I need to pay attention to for wafer transportation?

Wafer transportation is a critical and sensitive part of the semiconductor manufacturing process. To ensure product quality and yield, a number of conditions must be strictly controlled during wafer transportation, including ESD protection, vacuum environment, temperature and humidity control, vibration protection and transportation tracking. The following are the five key points of attention:

[ESD Protection].

Wafers are highly susceptible to static electricity and therefore require strict ESD protection during transportation. It is necessary to useAnti-static packaging materials, conductive insoles and anti-static clothing, and avoid static-generating behaviors.The wafer surface should be protected from damage.

Clean & Vacuum Condition

To prevent contamination of wafers with dust and particles, transportation must be performed under clean and vacuum conditions. The following should be usedWell-sealed transportation containersThe wafer quality is ensured by avoiding any collision or vibration.

Temperature & Humidity Control].

Wafers are extremely sensitive to environmental changes. It is necessary to use constant temperature and humidity transportation equipment to move theTemperature and humidity remain within a stable rangeIt prevents microstructural damage caused by heat expansion and contraction or moisture.

Shock & Vibration Protection].

Wafers are brittle materials and can be ruptured by the slightest vibration. Therefore, high shockproof packaging materials and cushioning structures must be used in transportation, andAvoid rough handlingto ensure integrity.

Logistics Tracking & Traceability

To ensure that the entire transportation process can be tracked and monitored, it should beConfiguration of a complete logging systemIt includes information such as temperature and humidity, position, vibration and time, etc., so as to quickly grasp the status of goods and immediately respond to abnormalities.

 

As a result, wafer transportation requires extremely high levels of control and protection to ensure that wafer quality and integrity are not compromised.

TSMC Engineer Interview

Q1:What are the main applications of "MSR175Plus Shock Transportation Data Recorder" at TSMC?
(What products are used for transportation? What is the transportation time and distance of each trip?)

A1:We apply the MSR175Plus to cross-country transportation between Taiwan and the United States. Since vibration occurs in multiple directions during transportation, we need to accurately grasp the actual g-value and set the maximum vibration tolerance.
On average, a round trip takes about 9 daysTotal distance 25,000 kmThe

Q2:Why did TSMC choose the MSR175Plus among all the related products?
(What features attract adoption? What are the advantages over other brands?)

A2:Due to the need for long distance testing, the MSR175Plus is equipped with the following features High-capacity battery and large memory spaceThe HK-MSR175Plus is designed to be a reliable and stable device for long term measurements. The HK-MSR175Plus can avoid the problem that some products may lose data due to insufficient capacity under long term recording.

Q3:In using the MSR175Plus, how has it helped TSMC's business?
(What are the implications for transportation safety or photomask quality?)

A3:With the MSR175Plus, we are able to better understand the actual effect of vibration on the mask and establish a quantitative standard, which will help prevent potential risks in the future, and significantly improve the success rate of mask transmission and quality stability.

Q4:Is this a one-off demand? Will it be duplicated in the future in both domestic and overseas plants?

A4:In the future, photomasks will continue to be equipped with the MSR series of recorders for round-trip transportation between Taiwan and the U.S. in order to monitor vibration conditions and continuously optimize transportation standards.

Q5:Finally, as a TSMC engineer, would you recommend this product? Why and who would you recommend it to?

A5:The MSR175Plus is an indispensable professional monitoring tool for any company or engineer who needs to "quantify vibration data".
