一种用于集成电路制造之初制晶圆方法，包括经由电脑之数据输入界面输入入来自请求晶圆之订单信息至电脑内。提供包含供给晶圆以及具有与其相关连之机器可读媒体的容器。以有关于供给晶圆之晶圆数据来编码机器可读媒体。晶圆数据从与容器有关之机器可读媒体输入至电脑内。当电脑决定容器中之供给晶圆相符于订单信息中之请求晶圆时，比较在电脑内之订单信息和晶圆数据，以在电脑中创建检验数据集。存储检验数据集在电脑内之存储媒体中。在创建检验数据集之后，从容器转移供给晶圆至前开口单一化匣。

A waferstart process for integrated circuit fabrication includes entering order information from requested wafers into a computer through a data input interface of the computer. A container is provided including supplied wafers and having a machine-readable medium associated therewith. The machine-readable medium is encoded with wafer data pertaining to the supplied wafers. The wafer data is entered from the machine-readable medium associated with the container into the computer. The order information and the wafer data are compared within the computer to create a verified data set in the computer upon the computer determining that the supplied wafers in the container correspond to the requested wafers in the order information. The verified data set is stored in a storage medium within the computer. The supplied wafers are transferred from the container to a front opening unified pod after creating the verified data set.
