IC design is the upstream of the semiconductor industry chain, while IC wafer manufacturing is the midstream, and IC wafer packaging and manufacturing and needle detection are the downstream. Taiwan has the world's most complete semiconductor industry settlement and professional division of labor, and related industries such as production testing equipment, masks and chemicals also set up branches in Taiwan from all over the world. After product design is completed, IC design companies will appoint professional wafer OEM or IDM factories to produce semi-finished wafers. After integrated circuits are manufactured on wafers in the midstream, they will be delivered to professional packaging factories for cutting and packaging. In Taiwan, the major packaging manufacturers, ASE and SPIL, are the world's leading chip packaging pioneers and have repeatedly made breakthroughs in packaging technology. However, before products are packaged in the factory, magazines are commonly used for each processing station to place semi-finished products and are carried by hand. Machine-to-machine delivery is not used in the production process even on the production lines of such world-class semiconductor manufacturers; manual delivery is almost completely relied on to deliver products among machines. Manual carts are also used for each processing station, and no automated delivery system has been fully introduced in the factories. This paper will try to design a magazine with uniform appearance and size with RFID installed on each, so the automated delivery system can be fully introduced in the factories because of this feature. The magazine can be used for the delivery among machines and among processing stations to facilitate a more efficient work environment of packaging factories.
