ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor wafer pod includes a measurement sensor configured within a housing. The sensor faces towards a surface of a wafer being accommodated in the pod. The pod can be connected to the conventional load-port of a semiconductor wafer manufacturing tool. Thereby, measurement data can be collected immediately after wafer processing without a need to transport the wafer. The invention enables the cost-effective development of tool-integrated metrology.
