【Case Study Title】
Traceability Management of Wafer Carriers
【Application / Installation】
Applied to the side surface of wafer carriers
【Product】
CERALABEL TF
【Challenges】
In semiconductor manufacturing processes, individual identification and tracking of silicon wafers are critical. As a result, proper management of wafer carriers is essential.
However, in environments involving aggressive chemicals such as hydrofluoric acid (HF) cleaning, conventional labels often fail under such conditions, resulting in loss of readability.
【Solution / Benefits】
CERALABEL TF, a resin-molded barcode label with excellent resistance to hydrofluoric acid, was adopted.
It protects the printed surface even in harsh chemical environments, enabling long-term and stable identification.
◎ Stable readability even after hydrofluoric acid (HF) cleaning processes
◎ Reduced frequency of label replacement
◎ Improved reliability in quality control

【Mounting Options】
This product supports the following mounting methods depending on the application and operating environment:
1.A recessed area is machined on the cassette surface with appropriate clearance for the label. After insertion, the gap is filled with resin.
2.Mechanically fixed using resin bolts through pre-drilled holes in the cassette
3.Inserted into pre-machined slits on the cassette
