NOTICE: This Standard or Safety Guideline has Inactive Status because the conditions to maintain Current Status have not been met. Inactive Standards or Safety Guidelines are available from SEMI and continue to be valid for use.

This Specification defines dimensional requirements for the load ports of 300 mm wafer process and inspection equipment. It is intended to promote a uniform physical interface between equipment and the factory, to facilitate the use of automated wafer carrier transport systems, and/or to meet ergonomic requirements for manually loaded equipment.

This Standard covers 300 mm equipment only. Similar requirements covering equipment for 200 mm wafers and smaller are covered in SEMI E15.
