Abstract:
An apparatus for handling wafer carriers in a semiconductor fabrication facility (FAB) is disclosed. In one example, the apparatus includes: a table configured to receive a wafer carrier having a first door and operable to hold a plurality of wafers; an opening mechanism configured to open the first door of the wafer carrier; and a door storage space configured to store the first door. The apparatus may be either located on a floor of the FAB or physically coupled to a ceiling of the FAB.

Claim (Index 4):
The apparatus of  claim 2 , further comprising:\n a light shutter located over the table and configured to capture light information of a wafer transport path between the light shutter and the table; and a first sensor configured to\n determine whether there is an obstacle on the wafer transport path based on the light information, and \n inform a second sensor on the transport tool when there is an obstacle on the wafer transport path, to stop the transport tool from transporting wafer carriers to the apparatus.
