FOUP and FOSB are terms used in semiconductor manufacturing to refer to containers used for transporting and storing silicon wafers, particularly 300 mm wafers, which are the standard size used in modern semiconductor fabrication processes. FOUP (Front Opening Unified Pod): A FOUP is a specialized container designed to safely transport, store, and protect silicon wafers during various stages of the semiconductor manufacturing process. It has a front-opening mechanism that allows wafers to be loaded and unloaded robotically without exposing the wafers to the surrounding environment. FOUPs are used to maintain the cleanliness and integrity of wafers, protecting them from contamination, particles, and other factors that could negatively affect the quality of the manufactured chips. FOUPs often have sophisticated features, such as interlocks, sensors, and RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) tags, that help ensure the proper handling and tracking of wafers within the cleanroom environment. These containers are an integral part of automated material handling systems within semiconductor fabrication facilities. FOSB (Front Opening Shipping Box): Similar to FOUPs, FOSBs are also containers designed to transport and store silicon wafers. However, FOSBs are typically used for shipping wafers between different facilities or locations, such as from a wafer manufacturer to a semiconductor fabrication plant. They are designed to provide extra protection during transportation to prevent damage to wafers. FOSBs often have additional packaging materials inside, such as foam or other cushioning materials, to absorb shock and vibrations during transit. They may also include mechanisms to secure the wafers within the container to prevent movement that could lead to breakage. Both FOUPs and FOSBs are critical components of the semiconductor supply chain, ensuring that wafers are handled, transported, and stored in a controlled and protected environment to maintain their quality and usability.

The main participants in the FOUP and FOSB wafer box market include Entegris, Shin-Etsu Polymer, Miraial, Chuang King Enterprise, Gudeng Precision, 3S Korea, and Dainichi Shoji. The top five global companies collectively account for over 95% of the market share. The global major manufacturers are primarily located in the United States, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, China.The driving forces in the wafer box industry mainly come from the semiconductor manufacturing and supply chain's demand for efficient, safe, and clean production and transportation environments. With the continuous advancement of semiconductor technology, the increasing wafer size and shrinking process nodes have led to higher requirements for the protection and cleanliness of wafers during manufacturing and transportation. FOUP and FOSB, as key equipment, meet the needs of in-factory automated production lines and inter-factory transportation, respectively, ensuring that wafers are protected from contamination and physical damage during manufacturing and transportation. Additionally, the expansion and complexity of the global semiconductor supply chain have driven the demand for efficient and reliable wafer box solutions to improve production efficiency and yield, while reducing transportation risks.
