ABSTRACT:
The present invention generally provides a modular substrate cassette used to store substrates. The modular substrate cassette is designed to use different components that may be collectively assembled into different cassette configurations while substantially reducing or eliminating custom and complex fabrication costs. The modular substrate cassette may accommodate multiple substrate sizes, including 100 mm, 200 mm, and 300 mm substrates, as well as a variety of substrate shapes, including circular, square, and rectangular. In a preferred embodiment, the substrate supports use materials from standard geometries of bar stock and/or plate stock to minimize the costs of production. Also, in a preferred embodiment, the substrate cassette is designed to allow multi-directional access to substrates stored in the cassette.
