Abstract

An apparatus includes a reticle pod. The reticle pod includes a baseplate having a first surface, a cover having a second surface, and a stand-off mechanism on at least one of the cover and the baseplate. The first surface includes a first sealing surface on a periphery of the baseplate. The second surface includes a second sealing surface on a periphery of the cover. The stand-off mechanism is configured to create a linear gap between the first sealing surface and the second sealing surface when the cover is attached to the baseplate.
