Import Tips
• Document alignment with SEMI standards (e.g
• SEMI E47 for ring frames) to prove industry-specific use
• Ensure declarations specify 'for semiconductor wafer processing' to avoid general mold pitfalls
• Maintain records of heat-resistant material specs suitable for plasma dicing environments
