Abstract

A reticle cassette includes a bottom panel, a frame arranged on the bottom panel, and a top cover arranged on the frame, the bottom panel, the frame and the top cover defining a chamber with an opening, the reticle cassette further providing a door panel at one side of the opening. The bottom panel is provided thereon with a plurality of reticle supporting posts each separated from the frame by a lateral gap, and the frame has a longitudinal cross-section comprising H-shaped structures. A web and a bottom surface of the first vertical wall are separated from the bottom panel by vertical gaps. The gaps are arranged between the reticle supporting posts and the frame so as to make the reticle cassette suitable for use with both vacuum suction type and physical clamping type handling forks to pick up the reticle.
