Semiconductor manufacturing system and wafer holder for semiconductor manufacturing system
InactiveUS7207763B2Improves yield and productivitySemiconductor/solid-state device manufacturingPlatesWaferingEngineering
A semiconductor manufacturing system and wafer holder for a semiconductor manufacturing system which prevents a semiconductor wafer from being exposed to a process reaction and which includes a reaction tube for providing a sealed process space and a dual boat and which prevents the backside deposition by the wafer holder. The wafer holder includes a holder body to hide the backside of the semiconductor wafer during a process in the reaction tube and a wafer lifter having a portion that can be disengaged from and coupled to the holder body so that a lower portion of the semiconductor wafer is supported by the dual boat and so that the semiconductor wafer can be lifted up from the wafer body when the semiconductor wafer is loaded and unloaded. A separation boundary between the holder body and the wafer lifter includes a gas inflow interception surface to hinder reaction gas from flowing through the separation boundary.

Convenient food container
A food container includes a base (12) with a food-holding cavity (14) and a lid (20) that closes the cavity, each formed of plastic sheeting. The lid defines an eating utensil (32) such as a fork, by a breakaway line that extends around the utensil and that can be easily broken to remove the utensil. The base has radially inner and outer upstanding flanges (64, 62) and an upwardly-opening base groove (66) between them that receives a lid lip (72). At an initial opening section (60) that occupies less than one-fifth of the container perimeter, a section (62A) of the outer base flange is partially separated from the rest of the base by a cut (80) extending along the base groove and by opposite breakable lines. At that section, the inner base flange (64A) is of reduced width to provide more room for a person to grasp the lid, and there is also a smaller interference fit between the base inner flange with walls of the lid groove.
