Standards New Activity Report Form (SNARF)
Date Prepared: 04/01/2015Revised (if Applicable):

Document Number: 5877
SNARF for: Revision to SEMI M80-0514, Mechanical Specification for Front-Opening Shipping Box Used to Transport and Ship 450 mm Wafers with title change to:
Specification for Front-Opening Shipping Box Used to Transport and Ship 450 mm Wafers


Originating Global Technical Committee: Silicon Wafer
Originating TC Chapter: Japan
Task Force (TF) in which work is to be carried out: International 450 mm Shipping Box
Note: If a new task force is needed, also submit a task force organization form (TFOF)

___________________________________________________________________________
1. Rationale:
a. Describe the need or problem addressed by this activity.
(Indicate the customer, what benefits they will receive, and if possible, quantify the impact on the return on investment [ROI] if the Document is implemented.)
The proposed change is to add non-mechanical specification to 450 mm FOSB (Front-Opening Shipping Box) in addition to M80-0514 which specified only mechanical design criteria since it is deemed necessary to add non-mechanical specifications for 450mm FOSB so that it can maintain wafer quality, facilitate easy detection of trouble such as wafer breakage when received.
The proposed change also include information for reuse to promote environmental consideration

A Referenced Standard for wafers SEMI M74 will be replaced by SEMI M1 with this revision since 450mm Product (Prime) wafers specification has been defined in M1.



b. Estimate effect on industry.
4: Slight effect or effect not determinable
Sector or Company Information:

c. Estimate technical difficulty of the activity.
I: No Difficulty - Proven concepts and techniques exist or quick agreement is anticipated

___________________________________________________________________________
2. Scope:
a: Describe the technical areas to be covered or addressed by this Document development activity. For Subordinate Standards, list common concepts or criteria that the Subordinate Standard inherits from the Primary Standard, as well as differences from the Primary Standard:
1. Change the title; delete the “MECHANICAL”
2. Update the Section 4: Referenced Standards and Documents
3. The re-numbering of the Requirement chapter
4. Add the new Section “Materials consideration” in requirement chapter.
5. Add the new appendix: WAFER SHIPPING BOX REUSE.
6. A correction of "R" omission in figures; Figure 4, 23, 24 and 34.
7. The correction of some sentences for proper understanding
8. Replace “must” with “shall” in many requirements items.


b: Expected result of activity
Major revision to an existing Standard or Safety Guideline

For a new Subordinate Standard, identify the Primary Standard here:


Modification of an existing part of Standard(s) or Safety Guideline(s) including Appendices, Complementary Files, and Supplementary Materials

For Standards, identify the Standard Subtype below:

5. Safety Considerations:
The resulting document is expected:
NOT to be a Safety Guideline

NOTE FOR "to be a Safety Guideline": When all safety-related information is removed from the Document, the Document is NOT technically sound and complete - Refer to Section 15.1 of the Regulations for special procedures to be followed.

NOTE FOR "NOT to be a Safety Guideline": When all safety-related information is removed from the Document, the Document is still technically sound and complete.

6. Intellectual Property Considerations:
a. For a new Standard or Safety Guideline and for any part to be modified or added in a Revision of published Standards and Safety Guidelines:
the use of patented technology is NOT required.

If "patented technology is intended to be included in the proposed Standard(s) or Safety Guideline(s) " is selected above, then also check one:


b. For Revision, Reapproval, Reinstatement, or Withdrawal of existing Standard(s) and Safety Guideline(s):
there is previously known material patented technology necessary to use or implement the Standard(s) and Safety Guideline(s)

c. The body of the Document and any Appendices, Complementary Files, Related Information sections, or Various Materials that may or may not be a part of the Document by reference:
will NOT include reproduced copyrighted material



NOTE FORthe use of patented technology or the incorporation of Copyrighted Item(s) is NOT required’: If in the course of developing the Document, it is determined that the use of patented technology or Copyrighted Item(s) is necessary for the Document, the provisions of Regulations § 16 must be followed.

NOTE FORwill incorporate Copyrighted Item’: A copyright release letter must be obtained from the copyright owner prior to publication.
