Abstract: An article includes a substrate container for holding one or more substrates or reticles. The substrate container has a housing including one or more sidewalls, a closed end, an open end, and an interior space defined by the one or more side walls and the closed end. The container further has a door configured to close the open end of the housing. The door includes a door body having a seal coupling portion. The door body is formed of a door body polymer. The door further includes a seal member integrally formed with the seal coupling portion of the door body.

Abstract: Large format polymeric containers formed by injection molding include a main body having internal surfaces of high density and smoothness that define the internal space. The large format containers can include external features such as reinforcement ribs that are formed integrally with the container body, the reinforcement ribs having greater thicknesses than other portions of the walls of the container. The internal surfaces can include rounded corners and sloping towards a center of the container. Methods of manufacturing the large format polymeric containers include forming the polymeric main body using injection molding. The polymeric main body can be formed of multiple injection molded parts that are joined, or formed as a single piece. The injection molding can include applying between approximately 700 bar and approximately 1100 bar of pressure where at least a portion of the internal surface contacts a mold surface.

Abstract: Articles, such as various operative components of a fluid delivery and storage system, incorporating a composite including a fluoropolymer matrix having regions of perfluorinated distributed within the matrix into their construction. The tubing and various operative components incorporating the composite are electrostatic dissipative in nature having a surface resistivity ranging from between 1×104 ohms/square and 1×1012 ohms/square.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for recording the environmental conditions within a container during transportation or periods of extended storage, the container for receiving semiconductor wafers or other sensitive components.
