Asyst's Connectivity Seminar, 'SECS to 300mm' Scheduled for October 21-22, 2003
Tuesday September 2, 3:25 pm ET
Two-Day Seminar Addresses Practical Implementation of SEMI 300mm Software Automation Protocols in Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment
FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 2, 2003-- As the semiconductor industry moves from 200mm to 300mm wafer fabrication, SEMI standards continue to evolve to meet these changes. With over 18 years of integrated automation technology experience, Asyst (Nasdaq:ASYT - News) is the market leader in SEMI compliant equipment connectivity solutions. To address these changes, Asyst has designed the Connectivity Seminar, "SECS to 300mm," in cooperation with Secrest Research.
Event: Connectivity Seminar, SECS to 300mm
This newly revised, intensive 2-day seminar addresses the practical implementation of SEMI 300mm software automation protocols in semiconductor manufacturing equipment. The seminar describes details of SEMI Standards: SECS-II, GEM, and Global Joint Guideline (GJG). GJG includes a 300mm standards suite for Carrier Management, Substrate Tracking, Control Job, Process Job, and Object Services.
The semiconductor industry has changed dramatically with the transition from 200 to 300mm wafer fabrication. 300mm fabs require Automated Material Handling Systems (AMHS) for FOUP transportation to and from process equipment. In addition, semiconductor manufacturers require an expanded scope of connectivity standards, including single wafer process control and queuing work ahead of process equipment. Simultaneously, more standards are evolving to allow enhanced data collection from equipment. All of the current and near term connectivity standards are covered in this seminar.
