Introduction
The wafer shippers are specifically designed to ship, transport, or store semiconductor wafers. They are primarily designed to hold thin silicon wafers but are equally suitable for glass, quartz, sapphire, GaAs, and other thin round wafers in sizes from Ø2” to 6” or Ø51 to 150mm. These wafer shippers/carriers are also known as coin shippers.
They comprise three parts: base, spider spring, and locking cap. The inside of the base is concave to ensure that the wafers are held at the edges only. The spider spring holds the wafer in place once the cap is locked to the base. Available in sizes from 2” to 6” or equivalent 51 to 150mm diameter, made from translucent, natural polypropylene.

WAFER SHIPPER SPECIFICATIONS
Polypropylene (PP) Properties:
• Translucent/milky white
• Low dielectric constant (insulating)
• Not hygroscopic (water absorption <0.01%)
• Continuous use temperature limit: 55 C
• Melting temperature: 164 C
• Specific gravity: 0.9g/cm^3

The “Coin Style” single wafer shippers or wafer holders are available in different sizes and materials (Natural PP). They allow easy loading and unloading in automated or manual applications. They are impact resistant with a screw-on lid for secure packing.
Single wafer shipping containers ensure safe transport of 2″ (51mm) wafers. The coin-style shippers are cylindrical and usually include a spring (they can also be ordered without a spring). They are designed to absorb impact and have a screw-on lid for secure packing of your wafers.
