Learn more about the challenges of semiconductor packaging and how we can help A wafer, also known as a slice or substrate, is a thin piece of semiconductor on which electronic chips are fabricated. These components and the materials they are made from and packaged with are highly fragile and sensitive to dirt, dust, static electricity, chemical impurities, moisture, temperature, impact, and more.

Deflection from the neutral axis must not exceed the free length ÷8 for maximum service life. Hole locations must be a minimum of 1.5 times the hole diameter from the edges and the ends of the springs to the centerline of the hole (see illustration).
