NOTICE: This Standard or Safety Guideline has an 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 and options of reticle load ports on reticle stockers, lithography exposure equipment, and reticle inspection equipment. It is intended to promote a uniform physical interface between equipment and the factory, to facilitate the use of automated RSP transport systems, and/or to meet ergonomic requirements for manually loaded equipment.

This Standard covers only load ports for reticle SMIF pods (RSPs) as specified in SEMI E100, SEMI E111, and SEMI E112. Similar requirements and options covering load ports for wafers are covered in SEMI E15 (for 200 mm wafers and smaller) and in SEMI E15.1 (for 300 mm wafers).
