Abstract:
A conveying mechanism for conveying a wafer unit having a wafer disposed inside of and supported on an annular frame by a holding tape includes a housing tray housing the wafer unit therein and a transport unit supporting and transporting the housing tray between wafer treating apparatus. The housing tray includes a ceiling plate and a bottom plate that are interconnected by a pair of side walls facing each other across an opening defined in a side through which the wafer unit can be taken into and out of the housing tray. An air flow generator is disposed on the ceiling plate for generating air downflows in the housing tray that are directed from the ceiling plate into the opening. The transport unit conveys wafer units, one by one, between the wafer treating apparatus.

Claim (Index 1):
A conveying mechanism for conveying a wafer unit having a wafer disposed inside of and supported on an annular frame by a holding tape, comprising:\n a housing tray housing the wafer unit therein; and a transport unit supporting and transporting the housing tray between wafer treating apparatus, wherein the housing tray includes a ceiling plate, a bottom plate, a pair of side walls facing each other across an opening through which the wafer unit can be taken into and out of the housing tray, for supporting the annular frame inserted into the housing tray through the opening and holding the inserted wafer unit in the housing tray, and an air flow generator disposed on the ceiling, for introducing a gas from an upper end of the housing tray to produce downflows in the housing tray that are directed from the ceiling plate into the opening, and the transport unit conveys wafers, one by one, between the wafer treating apparatus.
