SEMI E131 - Specification for the Physical Interface of an Integrated Measurement Module (IMM) into 300 mm Tools Using Bolts-M -

Abstract

NOTICE: This Standard or Safety Guideline has Inactive Status because the conditions to maintain Current Status have not been met. Inactive Standards or Safety Guidelines are available from SEMI and continue to be valid for use.

This Document establishes the specification for the interface requirements between an integrated measurement module (IMM) and 300 mm tools using an interface as defined by SEMI E63 (BOLTS-M).

This Standard will permit the tool suppliers, robotics suppliers, and measurement module suppliers, to provide plug-and-play integrated measurement solutions on a mechanical level.

It is the purpose of this Standard to facilitate process monitoring through rapid access to measurement data, to reduce material handling between process and measurement equipment, and to provide the opportunity to increase process monitoring with a minimum or no decrease in throughput.

This Standard is intended to set an appropriate level of specification that places minimal limits on innovation while ensuring modularity and interoperability at all mechanical interfaces. It establishes the mechanical interface specifications for integration of measurement modules intended for, but not limited to, 300 mm process tools using a BOLTS-M interface, while utilizing existing SEMI Standards as much as possible.

This Standard specifies that SEMI E63 is utilized for the tool side of the interface.
