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.

Reticle pod provided with holding pins and method for holding reticle

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

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.

Workpiece container system

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.

Sealed reticle storage device with soft contact

A reticle retaining system including an inner pod and an outer pod is described. The inner pod includes an inner base configured to receive a workpiece; an inner cover configured to couple to the inner base, thereby forming an interior for housing the workpiece; and a hold down pin movably arranged through the inner cover and configured to press the workpiece. The outer pod includes an outer base configured to receive the inner base, an outer cover configured to couple to the outer base, and a pushing element arranged on the outer cover. The hold down pin, the outer cover and the pushing element have a charge dissipation property. When the pushing element pushes the hold down pin to press the workpiece, a charge dissipation path is established from the received workpiece, through the hold down pin and the pushing element, to the outer cover.

Reticle retaining system

A reticle pod having a positioning member includes a base, a lid and a plurality of positioning members. The lid shuts relative to the base to form a substantially cuboid case. The case has a storing space for receiving a reticle. The positioning members are arranged in a shutting direction and disposed on at least two edges of the lid or at least two edges of the base, respectively. The positioning members each include a connecting portion, a correcting portion and a guiding slope portion. The connecting portion connects the edges of the lid. The correcting portion has one end connected to the connecting portion and extending in a shutting direction and an opposing end connected to the guiding slope portion. The guiding slope portion has a slope extending outward. The reticle pod having a positioning member is error-free, allowing the lid to shut precisely relative to the base.

Reticle pod having positioning member

A reticle storage device includes a top lid having a ceiling and a cover surrounding the ceiling, and a bottom lid having a carrier and a peripheral structure surrounding the carrier. When the top lid engages with the bottom lid, a passage is defined therebetween and therefore the reticle storage device is not sealed.
