Process Wafer Carriers
Process wafer carriers are used in processes
that require chemical resistance. PFA material
(translucent perfluoroalkoxy) is used as it
offers superior chemical resistance. PFA
materials provide:
• Excellent chemical compatibility
• Poor dimensional stability
• No static protection
• Minimal moisture absorption
