Modular carrier for semiconductor wafer disks and similar inventory

The present invention relates to a container or carrier configured to hold semiconductor wafer disks, film frames, or similar inventory. In particular, the present invention relates to a versatile modular carrier or container system for housing and precisely positioning semiconductor wafer disks, film frames, or similar inventory during a manufacturing process, which modular carrier system includes an external frame that is attachable to and detachable from a shell portion and to which a manufacturing process accessory is connected. A modular carrier system uses a shell portion to house semiconductor wafer disks or similar inventory. The modular carrier system uses an external frame with accessories attached to the frame so that multiple configurations of accessories are possible with each shell portion and the accessories can be recycled when the shell portion is disposed.
