Abstract: A substrate treating apparatus including an unloading order changing unit. The unloading order changing unit reverses an order, in regard to unloading of substrates in a carrier from the top, between a poor inclined substrate and a substrate at least immediately above the poor inclined substrate when the poor inclined substrate is present whose inclination is determined larger than a pre-set threshold by a poor inclination determining unit. That is, the order is reversed such that the poor inclined substrate whose surface may be possibly be scratched with a hand is unloaded prior to the substrate immediately above the poor inclined substrate. Accordingly, this inhibits damages on the substrate caused by scratching a substrate surface with the hand of a substrate transport mechanism.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for positioning a cassette pod onto a loadport by an overhead hoist transport system are described. The apparatus includes a vertical front panel of a process machine equipped with a docking opening therein, a loadport stage extending horizontally from the vertical front panel, a loadport situated on the loadport stage, at least two back guiding plates situated on the back of the loadport, at least two side guiding plates with one situated on each side of the loadport, a front guiding plate situated on the front side of the loadport, and a clamp positioner for guiding the position of an OHT clamp during an unloading operation of the cassette pod. The two halves of the clamp positioner move sideways away from each other to allow the cassette pod to pass therethrough during a loading operation.

Abstract: A laterally floating latch hub assembly includes a latch key receptor translatably mounted within a rotatable latch actuation cam. Latch keys within a port door are received within the latch key receptor, which is capable of translating laterally to ensure a proper fit of the latch key within the receptor. Once received within the receptor, torque from the latch keys is transmitted to the latch actuation cam via the latch key receptor.

Abstract: A plurality of sensing arms are provided at intervals on a sensor case so as to project outwardly of the case. A light-projecting element and a photoreceptor element forming a pair are provided in the sensor case so as to correspond to respective ones of the sensing arms. Projected light from the light-projecting element advances along the longitudinal direction of the respective sensing arm and is reflected by a reflecting surface so as to be directed toward the neighboring sensing arm through a sensing area. The projected light is reflected twice by reflecting surfaces on the neighboring sensing arm so as to return to the original sensing arm through the sensing area again. The light is reflected by the reflecting surface of this sensing arm, advances along the longitudinal direction of this sensing arm again and is received by the photoreceptor element.
