摘要： A carrier for transporting silicon semiconductor wafers during semiconductor wafer processing operations including an enclosure, a door and a flange structured to interface with a machine so that the carrier can be lifted by the machine. A lift saddle connects the flange to the container so that the load on the flange is transferred to a part of the enclosure other than the top of the enclosure to prevent distortion of the enclosure to maintaining seal integrity between the enclosure and the door.

摘要： A wafer container having a container portion with an open front for receiving and removal of wafers includes a door with a cushion system that utilizes a unique wafer restraint system and structural features to provide maximum protection for the wafers and preventing rotation of said wafers. A feature of the door is that the front of the door covers have a pair of latch cavities on the outwardly facing side of the door. The latch cavities for receiving two latch mechanisms with latch members that extend out the upper and lower peripheral edge of the door. The latch mechanisms are covered by a pair of door panels that utilize hooks that attach to the peripheral edge of the door and further attach with posts near the vertical midsection. The latch cover at the peripheral side edge and at the vertical midsection of the door provides stiffness and resistance to bending of the door. In a preferred embodiment, the attachment of the door panel at the peripheral edge utilizes hook members on the door panel that extend through slots on the peripheral side. Press fit connectors and aperture combinations are preferably utilized to connect the edge of the latch panel approximate the mid-portion of the door.

摘要： A protective shipper comprises a cover and a base that are held together by a latching member. The base is configurable to retain and protect semiconductor wafers or film frames with wafers within a storage pocket. The base comprises latching member and a support wall that defines a storage pocket. The cover encloses the storage pocket. One or both of the cover may receive recesses for gripability. The cover may receive one or more latching apertures configured to minimize unintended unlatching. The shipper of the present invention may be manufactured in a mold capable of producing film frame or wafer containing configurations of the shipper by using an interchangeable mold insert.

摘要： An interlockable film frame carrier has central and peripheral portions for securely storing a film frame, the film frame supporting a film, a semiconductor wafer disposed on the film. The central portion has structure for supporting the semiconductor wafer and for allowing access to a lower surface of the stored film frame. The peripheral portion of the film frame carrier includes structure for supporting a peripheral portion of the film frame and matable stacking members. When the film frame is stored, two film frame carriers are interlocked by mating the stacking members. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR §1.72 (b).
