  • Publication number: 20240087933
    Abstract: A wafer transporting method includes following operations. A plurality of wafers are received in a semiconductor container attached to a mobile vehicle. An air processing system is coupled to a wall of the semiconductor container. The air processing system includes an inlet valve, an outlet valve, a pump between the inlet valve and the outlet valve, and a desiccant coupled to the pump. The semiconductor container is moved. The pump of the air processing system is turned on to extract air from inside the semiconductor container into the air processing system through the inlet valve. Humidity of the air is reduced when the air passes through the desiccant of the air processing system. The air is returned back to the semiconductor container through the outlet valve.

  • Patent number: 11854848
    Abstract: A container includes a container body and an air processing system. The container body includes a plurality of walls defining an interior space for receiving wafers. The air processing system is attached to the container body. The air processing system includes an exchange module, an air extraction module, a first contaminant removal module, a processing module, a second contaminant removal module, a controller module and a power module. The exchange module is coupled to one of the walls of the container body. The air extraction module extracts air from the container body. The first contaminant removal module is coupled to the air extraction module and the exchange module. The processing module is coupled to the air extraction module. The second contaminant removal module is coupled to the processing module and the exchange module. The controller module is configured to turn the air extraction module on and off.
