SEMI E164 - Specification for EDA Common Metadata -

The purpose of this Specification is to promote commonality among implementations by defining common representations and conventions of equipment metadata based on SEMI E125 Specification for Equipment Self-Description.

The scope of this Specification includes:

- Common approaches for defining specific elements of equipment metadata

- The metadata representation of selected SEMI Communication Standards, including those widely used in 300 mm semiconductor factories

This Specification defines equipment metadata based on SEMI E125-0710 and SEMI E120-0310.

This Specification applies only to production equipment that act on substrates.
