  • Patent number: 11121013
    Abstract: A semiconductor wafer container includes two outer shells in a substantially flat and identical form. Each outer shell vertically overlaps so as to accommodate a single semiconductor wafer therein. Each outer shell has a main body, a wafer retaining device and an external wall forming device. The wafer retaining device accommodates and fixedly holds the wafer in such a manner that upper and bottom surfaces of the wafer are not substantially in contact with the outer shells. The wafer retaining device includes: an inclined surface; a wafer contact surface; and a shallow gap portion. The external wall forming device has a hanging portion formed on an outer peripheral edge of the bottom surface of the outer shell so as to externally constitute a closed external wall relative to the wafer when each outer shell vertically overlaps to store the wafer.
