ABSTRACT:
An improved transport container for semiconductor wafers includes chamber structure of sheet material with structure in the chamber for supporting the semiconductor wafers. The chamber includes a first access door portion through which the semiconductor wafers may be introduced into and removed from the chamber, a coupling for attaching the chamber to a source of inert gas for flowing inert gas through the coupling to create a positive pressure in the chamber, and a port spaced from the coupling for continuously releasing gas from the chamber preferably at a rate in the range of one-half to ten cubic centimeters per minute so that the wafers are exposed to a flowing, low but positive pressure inert gas environment during storage and transport.
