The containing section 3 is provided with a wall part 6 standing from the bottom face 5 to surround wafers 2 stacked in three directions, wherein the opening of the wall part 6 serves as an inlet/outlet 7. The inlet/outlet 7 has a width matching the diameter of the wafer 2 and opens entirely in the stacking direction of the wafers 2. The cover part 4 is provided with a first wall face 10a covering the inlet/outlet 7 entirely when it covers the containing section 3.
