Abstract: An apparatus includes an elevator, a plurality of storages, a plurality of first robots and a plurality of second robots. The elevator may elevate a vehicle containing a plurality of semiconductor device carriers to position the vehicle at each of a plurality of process floors. At least one of the plurality of storages may be provided at each of the plurality of process floors to store the plurality of semiconductor device carriers. At least one of the plurality of first robots may be provided at each of the plurality of process floors to transfer the vehicle between the elevator and a respective one of the plurality of process floors. At least one of the second robots may be provided at each of the plurality of process floors to transfer at least one of the plurality of semiconductor device carriers between the vehicle and one of the plurality of storages.
