FOUP

Logistics Terms

Definition

Front Opening Unified Pod — a standardized sealed container used in semiconductor manufacturing to transport 300mm silicon wafers between processing tools within a fab. FOUPs maintain a controlled internal environment (particle-free, nitrogen-purged) and interface directly with equipment load ports. When wafers must be shipped between fabs (e.g., for specialized processing), FOUP-compatible shipping containers are used with shock and tilt indicators. FlashGL's semiconductor OBC service includes FOUP-compliant handling protocols and courier training on cleanroom entry procedures.
