Zusammenfassung:A wafer carrying structure is provided that allows more efficient operation of the opening and closing mechanisms. More specifically, the wafer carrier includes pressure relief structures that provide appropriate pressure equalization during the opening and closing operations of the wafer carrier. This allows doors on the wafer to be more easily opened and closed while also providing significant environmental isolation for the wafers during transport operations. Relief structures specifically designed to remain closed except for those brief periods of time where pressure relief is necessary to equalize pressure during opening and closing of the carrier.
