Abstract

A robotic accessible wafer shipper assembly comprises a shipper base, a wafer carrier which supports the disks within the base, and a shipper cover which mates with the base and wafer carrier in latching attachment. The base, carrier and cover are provided with certain specific design features which allow them to be handled, as a completely assembled package, by its constituent components and is assembled and disassembled entirely by robotics.
