Silicon wafers, commonly referred to as substrates in the field of electronics, are thin slices of extremely pure crystalline silicon (c-Si) used to manufacture integrated circuits, a collection of various electrical components. Since wafers are used in electronics and micromechanical devices, they play a significant role in the semiconductor industry. While this device has numerous uses, the question remains about how long these wafers last.
If you want to learn more about these wafers and their uses, here are some facts about silicon wafers that might interest you.

Almost every aspect of modern life and technological growth uses silicon wafers. Silicon wafers are the most often utilized materials in the technology industry because they are more stable than other semiconductor materials. In addition to offering a superior alternative to other metallic materials, they are also widely distributed worldwide. However, like any modern device, silicon wafers have their own storage life.
The period between making semiconductor products and delivering them to clients has been significantly extended thanks to developments in lead-frame technology, packing materials, work procedures, and inventory logistics. The performance of the product or the customer's product shelf life is unaffected by this prolonged storage period.
In numerous studies conducted since 1998, no evidence of declining dependability has been discovered that would negatively affect the item or its capacity to be soldered to a PCB. There haven't been any discovered failure mechanisms that would contest this otherwise. The reliability of semiconductor devices kept in a climate-controlled warehouse for a long time, up to 21 years, was evaluated, and there were no failures in the mechanisms found.
