If you work in the semiconductor industry, you know that keeping your products as clean and contamination-free as possible is absolutely critical to their final operation once they arrive in customer hands. That's why you likely have a clean room set up for your semiconductor production process, but what happens when the process is complete and it's time to ship? Obviously, you don't want your products to be contaminated in any way while in transit. Whether you are new to this industry or just looking for some additional best practices to implement, here are some tips that might help.

Find a Packaging and Shipping Company with Experience

Semiconductor shipments are not something you want to just casually drop off at the post office. You need a specialized service that will ensure the integrity of your conductors while they are in transit to their final destination. Thankfully, there are companies out there that specialize specifically in semiconductor packaging and shipping. Such a company will be able to provide peace of mind that your business is in expert hands.

Because semiconductor packaging typically takes place right inside the cleaning room, it's important that you find a company that is willing to work side by side with you to ensure no contamination enters the equation during the packaging process. Most professional semiconductor packaging firms are willing to learn the way you do business and then work with you on-site to meet your packaging needs.

Pay the Extra Money for Custom Packaging

When you ship something in the mail, you typically just seek a box that's about the right size but maybe has a little extra room left over. You then fill up the box with bubble wrap or newspaper to close out the additional space and then drop it in the mail. When it comes to packaging and shipping semiconductors though, a generic packaging job is not the way to go. Opt for custom packaging that ensures a tight seal over the product and one that will prevent the semiconductor from being able to move around inside the packaging. You likely just spent a pretty penny developing and producing your semiconductor and the packaging process is absolutely not the time to start cutting costs. Semiconductors of course come in a wide variety of different weights and sizes, and you should make the investment to ensure a perfect fit each and every time.
