Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To guarantee loading of disks into a semiconductor processing apparatus from a transfer container under a clean room condition. SOLUTION: A loading and unloading station for semiconductor processing apparatus is provided with a closable opening for loading and can load, unload, and reload the disks contained in the transfer container 6 into, from, and into the semiconductor processing apparatus through the opening, after a closure 12 is removed. The container 6 is provided with a container cover 15 which is extended in a direction nearly perpendicular to a flat loading and unloading surface 10. The container 6 is fixed to the closure 12 by frictional engagement through the cover 15, and the simultaneous opening of the opening and container 6 is performed by lowering the cover 15 into the semiconductor processing apparatus together with the closure 12. The loading and unloading of the disk are performed by locking a manipulator 22 provided in the processing apparatus in the container 6 through the opening. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
