The purpose of this Specification is to establish basic physical dimensions for the Tape Frame FOUP which is intended to be used to transport and store 300 mm tape frames, as specified by SEMI G74 and SEMI G87, within IC manufacturing facilities.

This Standard specifies the external features and dimensions of the Tape Frame FOUP. This Standard specifies the internal dimensions for storing the tape frames in the Tape Frame FOUP. This Standard specifies the areas to ensure automated installing and extracting the tape frames by end effectors. This Standard specifies the external dimensions of interfaces for automation tools which are designed for interacting with the Tape Frame FOUP.
