Substrate storage container

A substrate storage container comprising:

• a container main body that includes a tubular wall portion with an opening circumferential portion at which a container main body opening portion is formed at one end and the other end closed, the container main body having a substrate storage space that can store a plurality of substrates by an inner face of the tubular wall portion, and is in communication with the container main body opening portion;
• a lid body that is removably attached to the container main body opening portion and can close the container main body opening portion;
• a side substrate support portion that is disposed so as to form a pair in the substrate storage space, and, when the container main body opening portion is not closed by the lid body, can support an edge portion of each of the plurality of substrates in a state in which adjacent substrates among the plurality of substrates are spaced apart at a predetermined interval and arranged in parallel to each other;
• a lid body side substrate support portion that is disposed at a portion of the lid body that is a part opposing the substrate storage space when the container main body opening portion is closed by the lid body, and can support the edge portion of each of the plurality of substrates;
• and
• a back side substrate support portion that is disposed so as to form a pair with the lid body side substrate support portion inside the substrate storage space, can support the edge portion of each of the plurality of substrates, and can support the plurality of substrates in cooperation with the lid body side substrate support portion when the container main body opening portion is closed by the lid body,
• wherein the back side substrate support portion includes:
• a lower side inclined face that extends in an inclined manner so as to be spaced apart from a center of the substrate storage space and on which an end of a back face of the substrate slides;
• and
• a substrate support portion that is located above the lower side inclined face, and abuts and can support the edge portion of the substrate,
• wherein, when the container main body opening portion is closed by the lid body, the edge portion of the substrate slides on the lower side inclined face and reaches the substrate support portion,
• wherein a part of the lower side inclined face on which the edge portion of the substrate slides, the part being a portion of the lower side inclined face is configured by a second member that is different from a first member that configures the substrate support portion, and the second member has a lower maximum static friction coefficient and lower wear resistance than the first member, and
• wherein the edge portion of the substrate slides on the second member and the end edge of the front face of the substrate and the end edge of the back face abut and are supported by the first member, the first member being made from a material different from that of the second member.
