Abstract:
A self-contained metrology wafer carrier systems and methods of measuring one or more characteristics of semiconductor wafers are provided. A wafer carrier system includes, for instance, a housing configured for transport within the automated material handling system, the housing having a support configured to support a semiconductor wafer in the housing, and a metrology system disposed within the housing, the metrology system operable to measure at least one characteristic of the wafer, the metrology system comprising a sensing unit and a computing unit operably connected to the sensing unit. Also provided are methods of measuring one or more characteristics of a semiconductor wafer within the wafer carrier systems of the present disclosure.

Claim (Index 39):
A semiconductor wafer carrier system transportable by an automated material handling system to a plurality of stations, the semiconductor wafer carrier system comprising:\n a housing configured and engageable with the automated material handling system for transport within the automated material handling system to the plurality of stations, the housing having a support configured to support a semiconductor wafer in the housing; and a sensor, operably attached to the housing, for obtaining data regarding the semiconductor wafer in the housing; and a power source, operably attached to the housing, for powering the sensor.
