Claim Text:
1. A method for packing an integrated circuit on a wafer disc, the method comprising: receiving the wafer disc into a container base; placing a separator disc on the wafer disc to contact only a circumferential edge of the wafer disc; placing a compressible insert on the separator disc, the compressible insert comprising a ring and cantilevers extending radially and linearly inward from the ring, such that the compressible insert is positioned to indirectly contact only the circumferential edge of the wafer disc via the separator disc and the compressible insert is free of direct contact with the wafer disc; securing a container cover to the container base to compress the cantilevers downward so as to stabilize the wafer disc by the circumferential edge while keeping a center portion of the wafer disc free of contact; and releasing the contain cover from the contain base to retrieve the wafer disc for manufacturing the integrated circuit on the wafer disc.
