Abstract:  This document from the 304-501 project is a high level test
methodology (not a test plan) for overhead wafer carrier
transport systems, both monorail/hoist vehicle and overhead
conveyor designs. The methodology addresses overhead transport
systems (OTS) for wafer carriers from more of a performance-based
testing standpoint than the existing Overhead Hoist Transport
Test Plan developed by the International 300 mm Initiative
(I300I).
