SEMI E147 - Guide for Equipment Data Acquisition (EDA)

E This standard was editorially modified in September 2007 to remove duplicate sections. Changes were made to § 6.

This guidance document provides additional information about the Equipment Data Acquisition (EDA) SEMI Standards suite, explains the relationship among those standards, and presents basic concepts for implementation to ensure the EDA specifications are properly applied.

SEMI E37 - Specification for High-Speed SECS Message Services (HSMS) Generic Services

High-Speed SECS Message Services (HSMS) provides a means for independent manufacturers to produce implementations that can be connected and interoperate without requiring specific knowledge of one another.

HSMS is intended as an alternative to SEMI E4 (SECS-I) for applications where higher speed communication is needed or when a simple point-to-point topology is insufficient. SEMI E4 (SECS-I) can still be used in applications where these and other attributes of HSMS are not required.

HSMS is also intended as an alternative to SEMI E13 (SECS Message Services) for applications where TCP/IP is preferred over OSI.

It is intended that HSMS be supplemented by subsidiary standards which further specify details of its use or impose restrictions on its use in particular application domains.

HSMS defines a communication interface suitable for the exchange of messages between computers in a semiconductor factory.

SEMI E5 - Specification for SEMI Equipment Communications Standard 2 Message Content (SECS-II)

The SEMI Equipment Communications Standard Part 2 (SECS-II) defines the details of the interpretation of messages exchanged between intelligent equipment and a host. This Specification has been developed in cooperation with the Japan Electronic Industry Development Association Committee 12 on Equipment Communications.

It is the intent of this Standard to be fully compatible with SEMI E4, Equipment Communications Standard (SECS-I). It is also the intent to allow for compatibility with alternative message transfer protocols. The details of the message transfer protocol requirements are contained in § 6.

It is the intent of this Standard to define messages to such a level of detail that some consistent host software may be constructed with only minimal knowledge of individual equipment. The equipment, in turn, may be constructed with only minimal knowledge of the host.

The messages defined in the Standard support the most typical activities required for IC manufacturing. The Standard also provides for the definition of equipment-specific messages to support those activities not covered by the standard messages. While certain activities can be handled by common software in the host, it is expected that equipment-specific host software may be required to support the full capabilities of the equipment.

SECS-II gives form and meaning to messages exchanged between equipment and host using a message transfer protocol, such as SECS-I.

SECS-II defines the method of conveying information between equipment and host in the form of messages. These messages are organized into categories of activities, called streams, which contain specific messages, called functions. A request for information and the corresponding data transmission is an example of such an activity.

SECS-II defines the structure of messages into entities called items and lists of items. This structure allows for a self-describing data format to guarantee proper interpretation of the message.

The interchange of messages is governed by a set of rules for handling messages called the transaction protocol. The transaction protocol places some minimum requirements on any SECS-II implementation.
