INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL
ENTEGRIS, INC.
Contact Areas B and C
Track Length (#2 on previous diagram)
D6a: Inside Track Width
The depth of the recess for the wafer carrier track
should be a maximum of 6.4 mm (0.25").
Four Point Track Contact
Ensure the wafer carrier is supported only on the
four points of the track to ensure proper orienta-
tion. Please see page 6 for more information.

Robotic Handling
General Recommendations
When developing interfaces to robotic handling
features, it is important to reference the specifi-
cations for the specific wafer carrier as features
vary in design and location. If additional informa-
tion is required, contact Entegris Applications
Engineering.
Robotic Handling Features
Entegris provides many different features
to facilitate robotic handling. The following
general categories of robotic handling features
are detailed below.
• Endwall flanges
• “H” bar end flanges
• Endwall handle
• Top flanges
Endwall Flanges
Robotic flanges on a wafer carrier endwall are
available in many styles including outboard and
inboard flanges. Outboard flanges are near the
outer edges of the wafer carrier. Inboard flanges
are in towards the center of the end wall.
The controlled dimension (#1) for end wall flanges
is the overall length from Datum A to the inside
(backside) of the flange.
