Abstract:
A semiconductor wafer carrier comprising, a boat type carrier having grooves for carrying a plurality of semiconductor wafers loaded in a parallel and aligned relationship with respect to each other, said wafer carrier being adapted to be moved by robot equipment from one processing tank to another processing tank and to immerse the wafer carrier into the tanks together with the semiconductor wafers loaded thereon in order to effect a wet processing of the semiconductor wafers in each of the processing tanks, said wafer carrier comprising:a carrier body having at least one pair of first holding means provided with a plurality of grooves for holding bottom portions of the semiconductor wafers therein,a second pair of holding means supported from said carrier body for holding down upper portions of the semiconductor wafers loaded on said first holding means, androbot holding means on said wafer carrier for being picked up by said robot equipment for transporting said semiconductor wafer carrier on which said plurality of semiconductor wafers are loaded.
