SEMI E90 - Specification for Substrate Tracking

The purpose of this Standard is to provide the standard services of equipment to track substrates (manufactured product) in manufacturing equipment. This Standard defines the concepts and behaviors for the information management of substrates, as well as the messages/services.

Essentially, information about substrates must be managed by the factory system, while the equipment is required to provide the services for the substrate information management. This Standard addresses the requirement for the equipment services to manage information of substrates that reside in the equipment.

The scope of this Standard is to define the information services of equipment that can be requested by the user. To clarify the required services, the concepts and behaviors of the substrate, the substrate location, the batch, and the batch location are defined.

This Standard is applicable to any manufacturing equipment that handles substrates. To implement these services, the equipment and factory system must be integrated by means of a communication link.

SEMI E87 - Specification for Carrier Management (CMS)

The scope of this document is to define standards that facilitate the host’s knowledge and role in automated and manual carrier transfers, as well as internal buffer equipment carrier transfers. Specifically, this Document provides state models and scenarios that define the host interaction with the equipment for the following:

Carrier transfer between AMHS vehicles and production equipment load ports.
Carrier transfers to/from production equipment internal buffer space.
Equipment and load port access mode switching.
Carrier to load port association.
Carriere verification and Carrier slot map verification.

SEMI E54.24 - Specification for Sensor/Actuator Network Specific Device Model of a Generic Equipment Networked Sensor (GENsen)

This Specification is part of a suite of Standards that specify the implementation of SEMI Standards for the Sensor/Actuator Network. The specific purpose of this specification is to describe a network-independent application model of a generic sensor device measuring one or more phenomena on a piece of semiconductor manufacturing equipment and communicating over a sensor/actuator communication network. Oftentimes such sensors are added onto the equipment as they might provide a capability that is not provided with the current equipment configuration.

This document describes a specific device structure and behavior of a generic equipment networked sensor. This could include a sensor added onto the equipment that communicates over a sensor/actuator communication network. It could also include a sensor that is part of the default configuration of the equipment, communicating over a sensor/actuator communication network.

This Document is applicable to sensors that are regarded as data producers only. A configuration or control of the sensor device (e.g., described by a third entity) is outside the scope of this Standard.

This document does not define terms that have been defined already in other referenced documents.

SEMI E54.23 - Specification for Sensor/Actuator Network Communications for CC-Link IE Field Network

his Specification is part of the SEMI Sensor/Actuator Network (SAN) suite of Standards and defines a specific communications protocol based on the CC-LinkTM IE Field Network standard. This Network Communication Standard (NCS) taken together with the SEMI Sensor/Actuator Network Standard suite and the CC-Link IE Field Network standard completely and unambiguously defines an open standard providing an industry specific solution to off-the-shelf interoperability of networked devices in semiconductor manufacturing equipment.


CC-Link IE Field Network is a vendor independent, open device level network standard. Vendor independence and openness are guaranteed by the CC-Link Partner Association.

This Document specifies a SAN communications standard based on the CC-Link IE Field Network specification that is in compliance with SEMI E54.1. As such, it specifies the protocol, services and behavior that compliant intelligent devices must support in order to interchange information over this SAN in a method compatible with SEMI E39.

In conjunction with a SEMI Standard SAN Common Device Model (CDM) specification and one or more SEMI Standard-Specific Device Model (SDM) Specifications (e.g., for a mass flow controller), this Network Communication Standard (NCS) with the related CC-Link IE Field Network standard describe the data structures, interactions and behavior that are characteristic of the various devices on the network. This composite model forms a complete interoperability standard for communications among intelligent sensors, actuators and controllers in semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

SEMI E53 - Event Reporting

Access to process data in equipment is crucial for effective process monitoring and control in a semiconductor manufacturing facility. This standard addresses the communication needs of semiconductor equipment and other factory objects, such as cell controllers or recipe servers, with respect to the timely collection and reporting of such data. The purpose of this standard is to provide a general-purpose set of event reporting services that may be offered by equipment suppliers. This document may be referenced, in whole or in part, by other standards addressing higher-level application domains. The communications services defined here will enable the standards-based interoperability of independent systems. They shall allow application software to be developed which can assume the existence of these services and allow software products to be developed which offer them.

SEMI E42 - Recipe Management Standard: Concepts, Behavior, and Message Services

E This standard was editorially modified in September 1999 to conform to its non-provisional status. Changes were made to Section 1.2.

This standard defines the concepts required for the management of recipes, the operations or behavior provided by the Recipe Management Standard (RMS), and the messages through which services are provided through an interface between the provider and the user of these services. The purpose of this standard is twofold: to enable applications software to be developed that can assume the existence of standard concepts, behaviors, and message services that collectively form Recipe Management and that take advantage of them; and to enable the software to be developed to offer the Recipe Management capabilities.
