Round Silicon Wafer Firm Support Cushions

Round Silicon Wafer Firm Cushions – AFDF Material, 0.25″ Thickness

Malaster’s Round Silicon Wafer Firm Cushions, crafted from AFDF (Antistatic Polyethylene Foam), provide essential ESD protection and firm cushioning for delicate silicon wafers. Designed for sensitive environments, these 0.25″ thick cushions prevent static buildup, dissipate charges, and reduce contamination risks, making them ideal for semiconductor and electronics applications requiring more robust support.

Wide Range of Sizes and Custom Solutions

We offer various diameter options to suit multiple wafer sizes and configurations, with custom sizing available. For specialized needs, contact our team at Contact@Malaster.com for tailored service and solutions to ensure precise product compatibility.

Detailed Product Specifications

The AFDF material used in these cushions provides firm protection with key properties including:

• Density: 2.2 lbs./ft³
• Surface Resistivity: 10⁹ to 10¹¹ ohms/sq
• Static Decay: <5 seconds (5000 to 50 volts)
• Flammability: Non-combustible, suitable for high-temperature environments
• Leach Test: Low levels of leachable ions (chloride at 90 ppb, nitrate at 4.1 ppb) for contamination-sensitive environments

Key Features and Benefits

• Electrostatic Discharge Protection: Antistatic properties ensure rapid dissipation, protecting delicate electronic components from harmful static buildup.
• Contamination Control: Closed-cell structure minimizes particulate shedding, ideal for cleanroom use.
• Durability and Firm Support: With its closed-cell polyethylene composition, AFDF foam offers reliable, firm protection that withstands pressure and maintains structure over time.

Practical Applications

• Semiconductor Manufacturing: Provides secure support for silicon wafers and dies during handling and storage.
• Electronics Production: Shields circuit boards and chips from ESD and physical damage.
• Cleanroom Compatibility: Ideal for controlled environments where contamination is a concern.

Advantages Over Other Packaging Solutions

Compared to materials like paper or generic foam, Round Silicon Wafer Firm Cushions offer:

• Custom Fit for Circular Wafers: Their round design ensures snug compatibility with wafer containers.
• Superior ESD Protection: The AFDF foam’s antistatic properties provide greater protection than conventional foams.
• Low Contamination Risk: Unlike standard foam, AFDF foam has minimal particulate shedding, critical for contamination-sensitive environments.

Compliance Information

• RoHS & REACH Compliance: Free from hazardous substances and safe for electronic applications.
• Antistatic Performance: Tested to EIA STD 541, these cushions prevent static-related damage to sensitive components.
