Faqs:

1. What wafer sizes are compatible with Wafer Separators?

Most separators support standard sizes:

- 2″, 4″, 6″, 8″, 12″ (300mm)
- Custom adapters can be configured for non – standard sizes (e.g., 18″, 200mm GaAs wafers).

2. Are Wafer Separators compatible with cleanroom environments?

Yes, most separators are designed for:

- ISO Class 5 (Class 100) cleanrooms
- ESD – safe materials and grounding
- Minimal particle emission (tested to <0.1 particles/ft³ for ≥0.5μm)

3. How do I choose the right Wafer Separator for my application?

Key selection criteria:

1. Wafer material (Si, GaAs, SiC, etc.)
2. Thickness (standard vs. thin wafers)
3. Throughput requirements
4. Cleanroom class compatibility
5. Integration with existing handling systems

4. What is the typical throughput of a Wafer Separator?

- Standard systems: 10 – 20 wafers/minute
- High – speed models: Up to 50 wafers/minute
- Throughput varies by wafer size and separation technology.

5. Can Wafer Separators handle thin or fragile wafers?

Yes, specialized separators for thin wafers (down to 50μm) feature:

- Vacuum – assisted lifting with uniform pressure distribution
- Edge – support mechanisms to prevent warping
- Low – profile design to reduce vertical stress

6. What maintenance is required for Wafer Separators?

Regular maintenance includes:

- Cleaning contact surfaces (weekly)
- Replacing wear parts (vacuum cups, grippers) quarterly
- Calibrating vision systems annually
- Lubricating mechanical components per manufacturer guidelines

7. Can Wafer Separators be integrated with automated production lines?

Yes, separators can interface with:

- Robotic arms (SCARA, delta robots)
- Conveyor systems
- PLC control systems
- Industry 4.0 protocols (OPC UA, MQTT)

8. How do Wafer Separators handle warped or non - flat wafers?

Specialized features for warped wafers:

- Flexible gripper designs that adapt to wafer curvature
- Multi – point vacuum suction to distribute force evenly
- Pre – alignment stations to correct minor warping

9. Are there eco - friendly Wafer Separator options?

Yes:

- Recyclable PP/PE materials
- Biodegradable separators (starch – based polymers)
- Reusable separators that reduce waste by 80% over disposable types

10. Can Wafer Separators be used for all semiconductor materials?

Yes, but material compatibility matters:

- Silicon (Si): PP/PE separators are standard
- GaAs/InP: Anti – static PI separators to prevent corrosion
- Sapphire/Glass: Teflon separators for chemical resistance

11. How thick are Wafer Separators?

Typical thickness ranges:

- 50μm – 200μm (0.05mm – 0.2mm)
- Thin separators (50 – 100μm) for tight – stack cassettes
- Thick separators (150 – 200μm) for added protection in transit

12. Do Wafer Separators affect wafer flatness?

No, high – quality separators are:

- Dimensionally stable (thermal expansion <50ppm/°C)
- Non – hygroscopic (moisture absorption <0.1%)
- Flatness tolerance within ±50μm over the entire surface

13. How should Wafer Separators be stored?

- Sealed in anti – static bags
- Stored in temperature – controlled environments (23±3°C, 45±5% RH)
- Avoid direct sunlight or exposure to organic solvents
- Stacked flat to prevent warping

14. Can Wafer Separators be reused?

Reusability depends on material and condition:

- Polypropylene/PE: Reusable if undamaged (clean with IPA between uses)
- Paper – based separators: Disposable
- Polyimide: Reusable in high – temperature applications (up to 260°C)

15. How do Wafer Separators prevent wafer damage?

- Physical barrier between wafers to avoid edge chipping
- Anti – static properties to minimize ESD damage
- Low – outgassing materials to prevent chemical contamination
- Smooth surface finish (Ra < 1μm) to reduce particle generation
