  • Patent number: 8960442
    Abstract: Wafer support shelves (10, 10) are each provided with wafer support projections (A, B1, B2) on which parts of the outer margins of a semiconductor wafer (W) are to be placed. In each case, one of the support projections (A, B1, B2) is provided on the far side of the center position of the semiconductor wafer (W), and two of the support projections are provided on the near side of the center of the semiconductor wafer. By means of this structure, in a state in which a lid body (3) is not attached to a wafer extraction/insertion opening (2), the flexure amount of the semiconductor wafers placed on the support projections of multiple locations in the wafer support shelves can be reduced with a minimal number of projections, so that a hindrance is not created to an operation such as extraction by a robot arm.

  • Patent number: 8910792
    Abstract: The position of a substrate temporal placement piece (4) is set so that the substrate temporal placement piece (4) does not overlap a disc-shaped substrate (W) from a viewing direction perpendicular to the surface of the disc-shaped substrate (W), when a lid (20) is attached to a substrate transfer opening (2) of a container main body (1) and the disc-shaped substrate (W) is pressed to a location where the substrate is positioned and held by a back side holding portion (3). Thereby, even if the disc-shaped substrate (W) stored in the container main body (1) is bent due to vibration, impact, etc., there is no danger that the substrate (W) is in contact with the substrate temporal placement piece (4), and the disc-shaped substrate (W) having a larger diameter can be safely stored.
