Abstract: The present invention discloses a reticle storage pod including an outer pod which includes an outer cover and an outer base. The outer cover and the outer base can be coupled to securely accommodate one of a first inner pod and a second inner pod that are differently structured in the outer pod. The first inner pod and the second inner pod are for individually accommodating a reticle. The outer cover is provided with at least one first hold-down mechanism and at least one second hold-down mechanism, and the first hold-down mechanism and the second hold-down mechanism respectively act on a cover of the first inner pod and a cover of the second inner pod that are differently structured.

Abstract: The present invention provides a quick-release valve module which includes a flexible grommet defining a channel, and a piston having a disc portion at an end thereof, wherein the disc portion of the piston is exposed to the flexible grommet.

Abstract: The invention discloses a reticle pod including a base and a lid mounted to the base. The base has a bottom surface having at least one first mark and at least one second mark. The first mark has a first reflectivity relative to a light source, and the second mark has a second reflectivity relative to the light source. The first reflectivity is different from the second reflectivity, and both are also different from that of the rest area of the bottom surface.

Abstract: The invention discloses a container for a non-rectangular reticle, adapted for accommodating an elliptical reticle, and including a cover and a base which are configured to define an elliptical space when engaged with each other. The cover and the base have reticle retainers and reticle supports, respectively, which are configured to securely hold the elliptical reticle.
