Each reel is heat sealed under inert atmosphere in a transparent, recyclable and antistatic

polyethylene bag (minimum of 4 mils material thickness).

Reels are then packed in cardboard boxes.

The complete description for packing is shown on Figure 7.

Labeling

To ensure component traceability, labels are stuck on the reels and the cardboard box. The

seven-inch reels and the cardboard box are identified by labels including part number,

shipped quantity and traceability references (Figure 8).

The traceability is ensured for each production lot and each shipment lot through the

labeling.

The trace code number printed on the labels ensures backward traceability from the lot

received by the customer at each step of the process - in / out dates and quantity at

diffusion, assembly, test and final store. Likewise, forward traceability is able to trace a lot

history from the wafer fab to the customer’s location.
