Abstract:
The invention is a semiconductor handling apparatus including a handle device (10) for attaching to and lifting semiconductor wafer carriers (40) from a single end, wherein the carrier has two spaced apart slots (50A, 51A) on one end (42) and a docking station (60) for the carrier (40). The wafer carrier (40) is carried by handle 10 and is placed in a slot (62) in docking station (60) to allow a worker to carry semiconductor wafers (55) in carrier (40) to different processing stations, and docking station (60) provides a container (60a) to receive processing chemicals that drain from wafers (55).
