Abstract: A storage container with improved strength and airtightness, and a method for manufacturing the storage container are provided. The storage container includes, as a functional resin member, an insert component for a container body insert-molded with a molding material containing predetermined resin. The functional resin member is a side wall plate with support pieces. The side wall plate has a thick portion having at least a thickness of a side wall of the container body, and a thin joint portion formed around the thick portion, to be interposed into and joined to a peripheral wall of the container body. Most of the peripheral wall and the thin joint portion are engaged and joined to enlarge their contact area to eliminate a decrease of the mechanical strength and leakage around the peripheral edge of the side wall plate and prevent the peripheral wall from parting from the side wall plate.

Abstract: A substrate storage container comprises a container body capable of containing a plurality of substrates, and an air supply member capable of supplying gas from outside of the container body to an internal space, wherein for the substrate storage container the container body is formed in a front open box and the air supply member is attached to the bottom surface, and wherein a functional unit that changes the environment of the internal space to different states are connected with the air supply member so as to be able to be exchanged.

Abstract: A substrate storage container and a gas replacement unit capable of reducing variations in humidity or concentration of gas in a space above a substrate are provided. The substrate storage container comprises a container body having an opening and is capable of containing substrates, a lid, at least one intake valve for supplying gas to the inside of the container body, and at least one gas replacement unit which blows out the supplied gas wherein the at least one intake valve is attached to the back, bottom surface of the container body. The gas replacement unit includes a housing member and a cover member. The housing member has a plurality of first group blowout holes in the vertical direction, and the opening area of the top first group blowout hole is larger than the opening area of the second of the first group blowout holes.

Abstract: The substrate storage container includes a container main body, an air feed valve, and an air replacement unit. The container main body is formed in a front open box form with the air feed valve attached to the rear of the bottom plate. The air replacement unit includes a housing and a cover that covers the open front of the housing. The bottom of the housing is connected to the air feed valve so as to flow the purge gas while the housing is supported at the upper portion thereof by a rear wall of the container main body. Either the housing or the cover is formed with a plurality of blow holes for blowing the purge gas toward the front of the container main body.

Abstract: To provide a substrate storage container that enables efficient replacement of the air inside the container main body with a substrate protecting gas. The substrate storage container includes: a container main body 1 capable of accommodating a plurality of semiconductor wafers W; an air feed valve for supplying a purge gas into the container main body 1; and an air replacement unit 40 that blows out the purge gas from the air feed valve into the interior of the container main body 1. The container main body 1 is formed in a front open box form with the air feed valve attached to the rear of the bottom plate 6. The air replacement unit 40 includes a housing 41 for reserving the purge gas from the air feed valve and a cover 52 that covers the open front 42 of the housing 41. The bottom of the housing 41 is connected to the air feed valve so as to flow the purge gas while the housing 41 is supported at the upper portion thereof by a rear wall 18 of the container main body 1.
