Abstract
A method for manufacturing a support wall for a substrate carrying container, the method including steps of injection molding a polymer resin in a single step to form a support wall as a single, integrally molded component. The support wall includes a corrugated wall portion having a first average thickness and a plurality of support ledges extending perpendicularly from the corrugated wall portion. The support ledges have a second average thickness less than the first average thickness.

A method for manufacturing a support wall for a substrate carrying container, the method comprising:
- injection molding a polymer resin in a single step to form a support wall as a single, integrally molded component, the support wall comprising:
- a corrugated wall portion having a first average thickness;
- and
- a plurality of support ledges extending perpendicularly from the corrugated wall portion, the support ledges having a second average thickness less than the first average thickness.
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor substrate carrying container, the method comprising:
- forming a plurality of support walls as single molded components, each support wall comprising:
- a corrugated wall portion;
- and
- a set of support ledges extending the corrugated wall portion;
- attaching a first of the plurality of support walls to a first interior side of a container shell to serve as a left support wall;
- and
- attaching a second of the plurality of support walls to an opposing, second interior side of the container shell to serve as a right support wall.
A method for manufacturing a substrate carrying container, the method comprising:
- filling a resin over a mold for at least one wall of a plurality of walls for a container shell for the substrate carrying container such that a flow of the resin has a flow rate for forming the wall that is about the same as a flow rate for forming a support ledge extending from the wall, wherein the mold for the at least one wall comprises:
- a plurality of corrugation portions provided along opposite sides of a centerline along a vertical plane at a center of the at least one wall, wherein at least one corrugation portion of the plurality of corrugation portions creates a uniform flow front such that the flow rate of the resin is about the same for forming the wall and the support ledge.
