Abstract: The present invention relates to a reticle pod having gas guiding apparatus. The gas guiding apparatus communicates with at least an inlet of the reticle pod and comprises a first outlet corresponding to a first gas flowing space of the reticle pod and a second outlet corresponding to a second gas flowing space. When the inlet supplies a high-purity gas to the gas guiding apparatus, the high-purity gas will flows through the gas guiding apparatus, and flow to the first and second gas flowing spaces via the first and second outlets, respectively to distribute uniformly in the first and second gas flowing spaces. In addition, the cleaning efficiency on the reticle is improved; the contact between the reticle and air can be avoided for protecting the reticle. Thereby, the usage of the high-purity gas is reduced, and the filling efficiency of the high-purity gas is enhanced.
