Abstract

An assembly to facilitate the transport of semiconductor wafers comprises rigid first and second end plates, and a plurality of interconnected flexible pockets provided between these first and second end plates. Each of the pockets is configured to store a semiconductor wafer therein. A method of facilitating the transport of semiconductor wafers comprises inserting semiconductor wafers into pockets of a wafer transport assembly, the assembly having rigid first and second end plates, and a plurality of interconnected flexible pockets attached therebetween. The method further comprises collapsing the pockets down onto the semiconductor wafers by moving the first end plate toward the second end plate. A method of fabricating an assembly to facilitate the transport of semiconductor wafers comprises providing a plurality of interconnected flexible pockets between rigid first and second end plates, each of these pockets being configured to store a semiconductor wafer therein.
