摘要:
A lid unit seals a container main body of a thin-plate supporting container which is conveyed while plural 300 mm-diameter semiconductor wafers are stored in the container. In a wafer retainer which supports the wafers stored in the container main body, the maximum amount of displacement is set in a range of 1.5 to 2.5 mm (ranges from 1/200 to 1/120 of the semiconductor wafer diameter), and proportionality is held between the amount of displacement and external force when the maximum amount of displacement ranges from 1.5 to 2.5 mm. In the states in which the wafer retainer is fitted in the container main body and force is not applied, the wafer retainer is arranged at a position in which the wafer retainer is not in contact with the semiconductor wafers stored in the container main body or at a position in which the wafer retainer is in slight contact with the semiconductor wafers. Therefore, the lid unit can be attached and detached without fixing the container main body, so that vibration-resistant performance and shock-resistant performance are improved by preventing spring resistance force from rapidly increasing, and automatization of the attachment and detachment of the lid unit is easy to realize.
