An Application Implementation for the SECS Protocol Communication between Equipments and a Host in a Semiconductor Process

The SECS(SEMI Equipment Communications Standard) is a standard protocol for communication between equipments and a host in semiconductor processes. This paper proposes the implementation of the HSMS(High-speed SECS Message Services) as an interface for transmission of the SECS messages and SECS-II containing message contents defined as an SEMI standard. The HSMS driver is implemented as a type of the daemon program and several DLL files. The SECS-II composes of the SML(SECS Message Language) file defining the SECS messages, the SML translator being able to interpret and transform the SML, and the data index table being able to refer to SECS messages. We also define the shared parameter to exchange the HSMS header and SECS message between the HSMS and the SECS-II. Eventually, to show the effectiveness of the proposed drivers, we test the SECS communications between equipments and a host using the implemented communication programs.
