Round Silicon Wafer Soft Cushions

Round Silicon Wafer Soft Cushions – AFD Material, 0.25″ Thickness

Malaster’s Round Silicon Wafer Soft Cushions, crafted from AFD (Antistatic Polyurethane Foam), provide essential ESD protection and soft cushioning for delicate silicon wafers. Engineered for sensitive environments, these 0.25″ thick cushions prevent static buildup, dissipate charges, and minimize contamination risks, making them ideal for semiconductor and electronics applications.

Wide Range of Sizes and Custom Solutions

We offer multiple diameter options to suit various 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 AFD material used in these cushions provides robust protection with key properties including:

• Density: 1.10 lbs./ft³
• Surface Resistivity: 10⁸ to 10¹² ohms/sq
• Static Decay: <5 seconds (5000 to 50 volts)
• Flammability: Combustible, with precautions required for high temperatures
• Leach Test: Low levels of leachable ions (chloride at 88 ppb, nitrate at 3.9 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: A smooth open-cell structure minimizes particulate shedding, making these cushions ideal for cleanroom use.
• Durability: With high tensile integrity, AFD foam offers reliable long-term protection without breaking down or shedding fibers.

Practical Applications

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

Advantages Over Other Packaging Solutions

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

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