A1-9 Figure A1-3 shows a small-footprint cassette that
conforms to the requirements of this specification. In
order to prevent such a small cassette from being set on
the kinematic couplings in the wrong orientation, a
frame such as shown in Figure A1-4 can be placed
around the couplings. In order to not interfere with the
kinematic couplings alignment function, the frame can
extend no further than r19 from the maximum
boundaries of a cassette.
NOTE: If the bottom of the cassette does not extend below
the bottom conveyor rail, the conveyor rail may become
contaminated and may distribute particles.

Frame to Prevent Misalignment
A1-10 Conveyor rail edges need to be well defined for
smooth guidance and to avoid vibration. Thus, the
minimum radius on the edge that does not create
particles is recommended. For similar reasons, the
tolerance on conveyor rail parallelism and on
dimension x16 should be kept as small as possible for
the materials used.
A1-11 Table A1-1 can be used for communicating
which optional features are present on cassettes that
comply with this specification.
A1-12 In general, info pad A (on the lower left in
Figure 5) was intended to indicates
the carrier capacity
(the number of wafers). For example, info pad A was
previously defined to be in the down position (at z2
above horizontal datum plane) if the carrier holds 13
wafers and was previously defined to be in the up
position (at z26 above horizontal datum plane) if the
carrier holds 25 wafers. Info pad A is intended to be
read with a mechanical switch or optical sensor.
A1-13 In general, info pad B (on the lower right in
Figure 5) was intended to indicates
the carrier type
(cassette or box, etc.). For example, info pad B was
previously defined to be in the down position (at z2
above horizontal datum plane) if the carrier is a cassette
and was previously defined to be in the up position (at
z26 above horizontal datum plane) if the carrier is a
box. Info pad B is intended to be read with a
mechanical switch or optical sensor.
A1-14 Info pads C and D (slightly forward and to the
outside of info pads A and B) are intended to show
whether the carrier is dedicated to the front-end-of-line
(FEOL) part of the fabrication process (before any
metal layers have been deposited on the wafer) or to the
back-end-of-line (BEOL) part of the fabrication process
(during which metal contamination may be present). If
such carrier differentiation is required by the user, info
pads C and D are recommended to be down and up
(respectively) for a front-end-of-line carrier and the
opposite for a back-end-of-line carrier. Info pads C and
D are intended to interact with a mechanical pin. See
application note R1-2 in SEMI 15.1 for a discussion of
how to use pins to differentiate FEOL and BEOL
carriers.
