Microelectronics packaging software

Chip Tray Super Selector

Select the best packaging for bare die ICs, MMICs, filters, inductors, and other small, sensitive components — across 2" and 4" trays — using a unified catalog and rules engine.

Your problem

Failures on the factory floor may seem like coincidence. In reality, many incidents trace back to a lack of knowledge about the complete downstream process. Poor planning for packaging — transportation, protection, and presentation to automation equipment — is a root cause of millions of dollars per year in scrap, rework, equipment damage, wasted resources, and program delays.

  • Die Migration (Component Out Of Pocket)
  • ESD damage
  • Improper presentation to automation equipment
  • Handling damage
  • Scrap & rework
  • Equipment damage
  • Wasted resources and time
  • Program delays

Our solution

The Forgione Chip Tray Super Selector gives engineers access to all available industry-standard chip trays and lids in one tool — with instant component analysis and suggested options. Reduce die migration, ESD risk, and handling damage with data-backed picks and recommended accessories (lids, clips, inserts).

Unified catalog

Entegris & Gel-Pak trays, lids, materials, all searchable.

Rules engine

Geometry + ESD + material constraints solved in seconds.

Quality docs

Export the selection + visualization as a PDF report.

Why does it matter?

A single Component Out Of Pocket (COOP) event can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Components are wasted, employee time is lost, and program timelines slip.
