Systems, apparatus, and methods for purging a substrate carrier at a factory interface

Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, apparatus, and methods for purging a substrate carrier. Embodiments include a frame configured to sit proximate to a load port door without interfering with operation of a factory interface or equipment front end module robot; one or more inter-substrate nozzle arrays supported by the frame and configured to spray gas into a substrate carrier; and one or more curtain nozzle arrays supported by the frame and configured to spray gas across an opening of the substrate carrier. Numerous additional aspects are disclosed. 本发明的实施例提供用于净化基板载具的系统、装置及方法。实施例包括框架，该框架经配置以坐落在装载端口门附近而不干扰工厂介面或设备前端模组机器人的运作；或更多个基板间喷嘴阵列，该基板间喷嘴阵列由该框架支撑且经配置以喷射气体到基板载具中；或更多个布幕喷嘴阵列，该布幕喷嘴阵列由该框架支撑且经配置以喷射气体横越该基板载具的开口。许多额外的态样被揭示。
