Substrate transport container
First Claim
1. A substrate transport container having a door for loading and unloading substrates on a surface of a container main body and constructed so as to hold the substrates inside the container main body at a given distance of separation, wherein air conditioning apparatuses are disposed substantially symmetrically on a lateral surface of the container main body for reducing concentrations of particles and gaseous contaminants in interior of the container.

Abstract
This invention provides a substrate transport container for use, for example, in the process of manufacturing integrated circuits of less than 0.13 μm line width, to enable to hold the level of contaminants in the interior of the container for at least particles, acidic gases, basic gases, organic substances and humidity at controlled low levels, and having the size and structure to be compatible with automated semiconductor manufacturing plants. The container is provided with a door for loading and unloading substrates on a surface of a container main body and is constructed so as to hold the substrates inside the container main body at a given distance of separation, wherein air conditioning apparatuses for reducing the levels of particulate and gaseous contaminants, are disposed roughly symmetrically on the container main body.
