Abstract:
A dummy wafer storage cassette for storing dummy wafers. The dummy wafer storage cassette may have more than 30 wafer slots for accommodating dummy wafers. The dummy wafer cassette may have substantially the same outer dimensions as a standardized wafer cassette with 25 wafer slots and a pitch of the wafer slots of the dummy wafer storage cassette may be smaller than a pitch between the wafer slots in the standardized wafer cassette.

Claim (Index 16):
A method for treating wafers in a processing chamber of a batch wafer processing apparatus for batch treatment of a batch of wafers which are supported in a wafer boat, the method comprising:\n providing a standardized wafer cassette with 25 wafer slots and accommodating a plurality of production wafers; placing at least one of the plurality of production wafers from the standardized wafer cassette with 25 wafer slots and at least one dummy wafer from a dedicated dummy wafer storage cassette having more than 30 wafer slots for accommodating dummy wafers in the wafer boat of the batch wafer processing apparatus; treating the wafers in the wafer boat within the processing chamber; and placing the at least one dummy wafer back in the dummy wafer storage cassette.
