An illustrative device disclosed herein includes a plate and a reticle pod receiving structure on the front surface of the plate that at least partially bounds a reticle pod receiving area on the front surface. In this example, the back surface of the plate has a pin engagement structure that is adapted to engage a plurality of pins and a fluid flow channel that is adapted to allow fluid communication with an interior region of a reticle pod when the reticle pod is positioned in the reticle pod receiving area.

The present application provides a unified pod and a material conveying system. The unified pod includes an accommodating box and a gas storage box, wherein gas inlets and gas outlets are formed on the accommodating box, the gas inlets of the accommodating box are connected with the gas storage box; a first sensor for detecting a pressure value in the accommodating box is further arranged in the accommodating box.

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a system and method for adjusting an oxygen content in an FOUP. The system for adjusting the oxygen content in the FOUP includes an inflating assembly, the FOUP, a controller and a detecting assembly; the inflating assembly is connected with a gas inlet of the FOUP and configured to input an inert gas to the FOUP; the detecting assembly is connected with a gas outlet of the FOUP and configured to detect the oxygen content of the gas in the FOUP; and the inflating assembly and the detecting assembly are both connected with the controller, and the controller is configured to adjust a flow of the inert gas input from the inflating assembly to the FOUP according to the oxygen content detected by the detecting assembly.

A tray elevator of a test handler includes a tray mounter on which a test tray is seated and having a support part and a through hole vertically penetrating the support part, a shaft vertically extending through the through hole of the tray mounter and configured to provide a path for elevating or lowering the tray mounter, a guide bushing including an outer surface and a groove at the outer surface, inserted into the through hole of the tray mounter, and configured to move along the shaft, and a ring inserted into the groove of the guide bushing.

A substrate processing method includes supplying processing gas from a plurality of gas holes formed along a longitudinal direction of an injector, which extends in a vertical direction along an inner wall surface of a processing container and is rotatable around a rotational axis extending in the vertical direction, to perform a predetermined process on a substrate accommodated in the processing container. The predetermined process includes a plurality of operations, and a supply direction of the processing gas is changed by rotating the injector in accordance with the operations.

A semiconductor wafer is as wide as the industry standard width A (presently 156 mm+/−1 mm) and is longer than the industry standard A by at least 1 mm and as much as the standard equipment can reasonably accommodate, presently approximately 3-20 mm and potentially longer, thus, gaining significant additional surface area for sunlight absorption. Modules may be composed of a plurality of such larger wafers. Such wafers can be processed in conventional processing equipment that has a wafer retaining portion of industry standard size A and a configuration that also accommodates a wafer with a perpendicular second edge longer than A by at least 1 and typically 3-20 mm. Wet bench carriers and transport and inspection stations can be so used.

The present application relates to a base frame of a substrate carrier, including a first vertical rod and a second vertical rod; a plurality of cross rods, being arranged along the lengthwise direction of the first vertical rod and the second vertical rod, and being connected between the first vertical rod and the second vertical rod; a first vertical rod extension, being connected to an end of the first vertical rod from which a substrate enters; and a second vertical rod extension, being connected to an end of the second vertical rod from which the substrate enters; and the first vertical rod extension and the second vertical rod extension are configured to accommodate at least one set of rollers for conveying the substrate therebetween.

A reticle pod is provided. The reticle pod includes a container and a fluid regulating module mounted to the container. The fluid regulating module includes a first cap, a second cap and a sealing film. The first cap and the second cap are connected to each other. A flowing path is formed between the first cap and the second cap for allowing a fluid passing through the fluid regulating module. The sealing film is positioned between the first cap and the second cap and configured for regulating a flow of the fluid passing through the flowing path.

In one example, a workpiece support structure of a plasma treatment chamber has upper and lower ends, and first and second support members that extend between the upper and lower ends. The support members are electrically isolated from one another and offset from one another along a horizontal direction so as to define a cavity therebetween. The first and second support members support electrodes within the cavity such that (1) the electrodes are offset from one another along the vertical direction, (2) the electrodes extend between the first and second support members along the first horizontal direction, (3) a first set of the electrodes are electrically coupled to the first support member and electrically isolated from the second support member, and (4) a second set of the electrodes, different from the first set, are electrically coupled to the second support member and electrically isolated from the first support member.
