This standard was technically approved by the global Physical Interfaces & Carriers Committee. This edition was approved for publication by the global Audits & Reviews Subcommittee on August 27, 2010. Initially available at www.semi.org in February 2010.

The purpose of this document is to define the basic interface dimensions of a load port on the semiconductor manufacturing equipment, where a 450 FOUP can be loaded and unloaded. The intention of this document is to define a set of requirement and features to enable interoperability of load ports and carriers without limiting innovative solutions.
