Abstract
Description


FIG. 1 is a perspective view of embodiment 1 of the wafer carrier with a multi-pocket configuration according to the new design.



FIG. 2 is a top plan view of the wafer carrier with a multi-pocket configuration shown in FIG. 1.



FIG. 3 is a detail view of a portion of the wafer carrier with a multi-pocket configuration shown in FIG. 1 detailing an enlarged portion corresponding to the area indicated in FIG. 1 that includes a single pocket and surrounding region in a perspective view.



FIG. 4 is a right side view of a wafer carrier with a multi-pocket configuration according to the new design shown in FIGS. 1-3, with the left side, front, and rear views being the same as the right side view.



FIG. 5 is a bottom plan view of a wafer carrier with a multi-pocket configuration according to the new design shown in FIGS. 1-4.



FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a wafer carrier with a multi-pocket configuration according to a second embodiment of the new design.



FIG. 7 is a right side view of a wafer carrier with a multi-pocket configuration according to the new design shown in FIGS. 6-8, with the left side, front, and rear views being the same as the right side view; and,



FIG. 8 is a bottom plan view of a wafer carrier with a multi-pocket configuration according to the new design shown in FIGS. 6-8.


The broken lines, where present, in all views illustrate portions of the wafer carrier with a multi-pocket configuration that represent environment of the claimed design and form no part of the claimed design. The dash-dot lines of FIG. 1 define the area corresponding to the enlarged portion shown in FIG. 3 and form no part of the claimed design. The dash-dot and broken lines in FIG. 3 represent the edge of the enlarged portion of the design and form no part of the claimed design.


Claims
