6" 150mm 12-Slot Benchtop Silicon Wafer Carrier Holder HDPE Plastic

6" 150mm 12-Slot Benchtop Silicon Wafer Carrier Holder HDPE Plastic Semiconductor

This is an unbranded 12-slot benchtop wafer carrier designed to hold 6" (150mm) silicon wafers in a vertical orientation for storage, transport, or staging in a semiconductor fab or cleanroom environment. The carrier is molded from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic — a standard material for wafer handling equipment due to its chemical resistance and low particle generation. The slot-fin construction keeps individual wafers separated and protected, and the flat base with rubber feet keeps the carrier stable on a benchtop surface. Note: the 6" silicon wafer shown in the photos is included for display purposes only and is not part of this listing.

Applications

Benchtop wafer carriers like this are standard fixtures in semiconductor fabrication facilities, research labs, and university cleanrooms. They are used to store, stage, and transport silicon wafers between process steps — such as oxidation, deposition, lithography, and etch — keeping wafers vertical, separated, and protected from contact damage and particulate contamination. The 150mm (6") wafer size was the dominant production standard through much of the 1980s and 1990s and remains in active use today at legacy fabs, MEMS foundries, compound semiconductor facilities, and research institutions that have not migrated to 200mm or 300mm platforms. HDPE carriers are valued for their resistance to common process chemicals and their low outgassing characteristics in cleanroom environments. This type of carrier is also commonly used in university research settings, failure analysis labs, and anywhere that 150mm wafers are handled in small quantities outside of automated cassette systems.
