Abstract
According to an automatic carrier control method of a semiconductor wafer cassette transportation apparatus having high semiconductor wafer cassette transportation ability, an automatic carrier carries a semiconductor wafer cassette to an automatic carrier related inlet port of a stocker under control of a host computer. The automatic carrier confirms whether a semiconductor wafer cassette is left on the inlet port. If there is no preceding semiconductor wafer cassette, a semiconductor wafer cassette is placed on the inlet port. If there is a preceding semiconductor wafer cassette, the automatic carrier waits for a predetermined time at inlet port for the preceding semiconductor wafer cassette to be removed. When the preceding semiconductor wafer cassette is not removed at an elapse of a predetermined time, an error is issued to the automatic carrier.
