A reticle pod with backside static dissipation has an inner pod defining an accommodation space for a reticle. Multiple flexible guiding components are correspondingly disposed on multiple outer mounting portions of the inner pod in order to guide an inner cover and an inner base of the inner pod to position without relative displacement. Multiple conductive retainers are correspondingly arranged in the accommodation space to push against a backside of the reticle and form a full-time electrical conduction with the back side of the reticle, so as to establish a static dissipation path by the conductive retainers and the inner pod. Meanwhile, with the conductive retainers pushing against the reticle as well as the flexible guiding components providing the inner cover and the inner base with automatic position guiding, the reticle is automatically pushed and positioned to a center position of the inner base.

Reticle pod with backside static dissipation

The instant disclosure discloses a reticle retaining system comprising an inner pod and an outer pod. The inner pod is configured to receive a reticle that includes a first identification feature. The inner pod comprises an inner base having a reticle accommodating region generally at a geometric center thereof and surrounded by a periphery region, and an inner cover configured to establish sealing engagement with the inner base. The inner base has a first observable zone defined in the reticle accommodating region correspondingly arranged to allow observation of the first identification feature. The outer pod is configured to receive the inner base. The outer pod comprises an outer base having a second observable zone defined thereon observably aligned to the first observable zone of the inner pod upon receiving the inner pod, and an outer cover configured to engage the outer base and cover the inner pod.

Reticle retaining system

The invention discloses a reticle pod having a lid and multiple pin assemblies. The pin assembly includes a movable member movable relatively to a ceiling of the lid and an elastic member configured to arrange the movable member in between the elastic member and the ceiling of the lid. In the case where the reticle pod is provided without receiving a reticle, the ceiling of the reticle pod determines the movable member stays at a first level. In the case where the reticle pod is provided with a reticle, the elastic member collaborates with the movable member such that the movable member holds the reticle at a second level that is higher than the first level.

The invention discloses a substrate storage apparatus having a detecting device detachably connecting to an outer pod. The detecting device includes a sensing member having a sensing terminal, a cavity and a sensor. The sensing terminal detachably connects to the outer pod such that the sensing terminal exposes in an accommodating space inside of the outer pod. The cavity receiving the sensor extends to an outside of the outer pod and the accommodating space. The cavity communicates with the accommodating space through the sensing terminal, allowing the sensor to read information regarding the accommodating space.

Substrate storage apparatus provided with storage environment detection

A method for containing a reticle in a pod is provided. The method includes opening the pod such that a pressing element retained movably on the pod by a limiting cap moves to a first position, wherein a shoulder part of the pressing element between a pressure receiving part and a pressing part of the pressing element is spaced from the limiting cap. The method further includes placing the reticle in the pod such that the reticle is pressed by the pressing element.

A reticle pod with antistatic capability includes a base and plural of support members. The base has a carrying surface having a recess formed thereon and defined by a bottom surface. The support members encircle the carrying surface of the base and are adapted to support a reticle. The recess is defined by a depth extending between the carrying surface and the bottom surface. The depth ranges from 300 μm to 3400 μm to thereby weaken the electrostatic force exerted upon particles on the carrying surface.

Reticle pod with antistatic capability

Provided is a quick-release valve including: a quick-release member having a collar detachably coupled to a bottom opening of a base; and a sleeve having a flow passage for allowing a gas to enter or exit a substrate container. The collar has a pair of ear portions extending outward therefrom along a diameter direction and a handle extending outward therefrom along a radius direction. The ear portions are at a height substantially different from the handle.

The invention discloses a reticle pod including a base and a lid mounted to the base. The base has a bottom surface having at least one first mark and at least one second mark. The first mark has a first reflectivity relative to a light source, and the second mark has a second reflectivity relative to the light source. The first reflectivity is different from the second reflectivity, and both are also different from that of the rest area of the bottom surface.

Reticle pod provided with optically identifiable marks and method for identifying the same

The instant disclosure discloses a workpiece container system comprising a storage assembly. The storage assembly comprises a seat member and a seat cover. The seat member defines a workpiece receiving region that encompasses a geometric center region thereof, configured to receive a workpiece; wherein a lower diffuse inducing component is provided on the seat member within a planar projection of the workpiece yet offsets the geometric center region. The seat cover is configured to engage the seat member at a periphery region around the workpiece receiving region thereof, so as to cooperatively form an enclosure for housing the workpiece; wherein an upper diffuse inducing component is provided on the seat cover over the planar projection of the workpiece and protectively overlaps the geometric center region of the seat member.

A reticle pod with a spoiler structure includes a body and a cover. A reticle allocation area is centrally disposed at the body. The cover covers the body. A peripheral area of the cover and a peripheral area of the body are fitted together by a protruding portion and a dented portion. The dented portion and the protruding portion jointly form a spoiler structure surrounding the reticle allocation area. The spoiler structure includes a spoiler passage between the dented portion and the protruding portion. The body has at least one sidewall corresponding in position to the spoiler passage to form a particle-collecting space. Particles carried by external air current which enters the spoiler passage end up in the particle-collecting space and thus are denied entry into the reticle allocation area.

Reticle pod with spoiler structure

The present invention discloses a reticle storage pod including an outer pod which includes an outer cover and an outer base. The outer cover and the outer base can be coupled to securely accommodate one of a first inner pod and a second inner pod that are differently structured in the outer pod. The first inner pod and the second inner pod are for individually accommodating a reticle. The outer cover is provided with at least one first hold-down mechanism and at least one second hold-down mechanism, and the first hold-down mechanism and the second hold-down mechanism respectively act on a cover of the first inner pod and a cover of the second inner pod that are differently structured.

Reticle storage pod and method for securing reticle

The invention discloses a reticle storage device including a top lid, a bottom lid and a soft contact member. The top lid has a ceiling and a cover surrounding the ceiling. The bottom lid has a carrier and a peripheral structure surrounding the carrier. The soft contact member is configured to laterally extend in between the cover and the peripheral structure when the top lid and the bottom lid engage with each other, and to extend from an inside to an outside of the device in order to buffer the contact among the two lids.
