Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent troubles in which the inside is decompressed, when a user removes the cover of a sealed wafer carrier and the outside air is sucked in and contaminates a wafer. SOLUTION: A wafer carrier 100, whose cover 103 for closing the opening in such a way that it is fit in the opening of the wafer carrier body 2, is equipped with a keyhole 9 and fixes or removes the cover 10 to or from the wafer carrier body 2 by an operation after insertion of the key 110 into the keyhole 9, the cover 103 is equipped with a vent 104 which pierces through deep into the wafer carrier at the back of the keyhole 9, and the vent 104 is normally closed by a valve 105, and the valve 105 is made so as to open, when the outside atmospheric pressure becomes high. When a user removes the cover 103, the tip of the keyhole 110 aligns with the vent and connects it substantially airtightly, and the key 110 is made into the shape of a nozzle which jets out cleaning gas from its tip, thus the inside pressure can be raised by flowing the cleaning gas into it.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention comprises a box-shaped wafer carrier body having an opening on the front surface, and a lid that fits into the opening and closes the opening. A key hole, wherein the lid is fixed to and removed from the wafer carrier main body by an operation of inserting a key into the key hole, wherein the lid is provided at the back of the key hole with a ventilation hole penetrating into the wafer carrier. Wherein the vent hole is normally closed by a valve and the outside air pressure is increased so that the valve is opened. According to this wafer carrier, if the tip of the key for fixing and removing the lid is a nozzle for ejecting the clean gas and fits into the opening of the ventilation hole, when removing the lid, the key is inserted into the keyhole and vented. If the tip of the key is connected to the hole and a clean gas is ejected, the valve opens at that pressure, and the pressure inside the wafer carrier increases. If the key is operated and the lid is removed in this state, the outside air is prevented from being caught in the wafer carrier.
