Abstract
The semiconductor carrier storage system includes storage ports each of which accommodates a semiconductor carrier, a shuttle rail that extends in a horizontal direction on a side of the storage ports, an internal carrier shuttle that moves along the shuttle rail and transfers a semiconductor carrier to each of the storage ports, and an upper transfer port that receives the semiconductor carrier from an overhead hoist transport (OHT). The internal carrier shuttle includes a shuttle body coupled to the shuttle rail, a transfer wheel that connects the shuttle body to the shuttle rail, a gripper that holds the semiconductor carrier, and a hoist that vertically extends between the shuttle body and the gripper and drives the gripper to vertically move.
