Abstract:
A semiconductor substrate carrier for wet processing semiconductor substrates, comprising:first, second and third rails, each of said rails having a plurality of slots for receiving peripheral edges of a semiconductor substrate, said plurality of slots being arranged such that each slot on a rail that is adjacent to two other slots on a same rail is spaced one distance from a first adjacent slot and a second different distance from a second adjacent slot on the same rail; anda plurality of supports for supporting said rails to define therewith said semiconductor substrate carrier, each of said plurality of supports having first and second end portions, said first and second rails being coupled to said first and second end portions of each of said plurality of supports and positioned in a spaced parallel relationship with each other, said third rail being coupled to said supports at a point which is not equidistant from said first and second end portions such that said third rail is off center from a lowest point of said substrate carrier.
