3.2 This specification defines the signals used to select a load port. The physical correspondence of the parallel I/O
interface to the load port is not defined in this document.
3.3 Error recovery procedures may need operator assistance and/or proprietary procedures specific to the
equipment. Therefore, error recovery procedures are not defined in this document.
3.4 Signal time diagrams apply to only one parallel I/O interface.

3.5 The installation positions of the parallel I/O interface and the connector on the active and passive equipment are
not defined.
3.6 The swap handoff will be considered beyond the scope of the standard for interbay AMHS equipment (i.e.,
OHS, stockers). During a swap handoff, loading and unloading occur simultaneously on the same loadport.

5 Terminology
5.1 Definitions
5.1.1 access mode — a mode in which passive equipment knows which AMHS equipment (i.e. RGV, AGV, and
OHT/OHV) or operator is permitted to make a material handoff. In the case of interbay AMHS, this is a mode in

which the passive equipment knows which AMHS equipment (i.e., OHS and stockers equipped with transfer
devices) is permitted to make a material handoff.
5.1.2 active equipment — equipment that loads a cassette onto the cassette stage of another piece of equipment or
unloads a cassette from the cassette stage of another piece of equipment [SEMI E23].
5.1.3 active OHS vehicle — an active OHS vehicle that contains a device that loads or unloads the carrier from one
piece of equipment to another.
5.1.4 automated material handling system (AMHS) equipment — a piece of equipment which has a carrier transfer
robot that transfers carriers from and to passive equipment. It includes rail guided vehicles (RGV), automated
guided vehicles (AGV), overhead hoist transports (OHT), overhead shuttles (OHS), and stockers.
5.1.5 automatic access mode — a mode in which AMHS equipment performs a material handoff rather than an
operator.
5.1.6 boundary — a change in the timing single state.
5.1.7 carrier — any cassette, box, pod, or FOUP that contains wafers [SEMI E1.9]. Also known as wafer carrier.
5.1.8 cassette — an open structure that holds one or more substrates [SEMI E1.9]. Also known as open cassette
(OC).
5.1.9 continuous handoff — successive handoffs of two carriers. Continuous handoff is in series, meaning one
carrier transfer occurs and is then immediately followed by another. The continuous handoff may involve: load and
load, unload and unload, or unload and load operations.
5.1.10 front opening unified pod (FOUP) — a box (that complies with SEMI E47.1) with a non-removable cassette
(so that its interior complies with SEMI E1.9) and with a front-opening interface (FIMS) [SEMI E47.1].
5.1.11 handoff — is the operation in which a carrier is transferred (loaded or unloaded) from one piece of
equipment to another.
5.1.12 handoff conflict area — an area where the active equipment resource could interfere with the passive
equipment resource during the handoff operation.
5.1.13 handoff interlock abnormal — the state, which indicates the passive equipment, has detected abnormal
conditions in the handoff operation. It may indicate the possibility that the interference of the active equipment
resource with the passive equipment resource has occurred in the handoff conflict area.
5.1.14 handoff unavailable — the state, which indicates the passive equipment, is not available for material handoff
operation.
5.1.15 load port — the interface location on a tool where wafer carriers are placed to allow the tool to process
wafers [SEMI E15].
5.1.16 manual access mode — an access mode in which an operator performs a material handoff of a carrier rather
than the AMHS equipment.
5.1.17 overhead shuttle (OHS) — an AMHS vehicle that does not use a vertical hoist mechanism to transfer the
carrier from one piece of equipment to another. An OHS is typically supported on top of transport rail while
overhead hoist transport (OHT) vehicles hang from underneath the transport rail.
5.1.18 passive equipment — equipment that is loaded or unloaded by active equipment [SEMI E23]. Passive
equipment includes process equipment, metrology equipment, stockers, etc.
5.1.19 passive OHS vehicle — An active OHS vehicle that does not contain a device that loads or unloads the
carrier from one piece of equipment to another.
5.1.20 simultaneous handoff — concurrent handoff operations of two carriers. Simultaneous handoff is in parallel,
meaning two carriers are transferred at the same time.
5.1.21 single arm/double hand AMHS equipment — AMHS equipment which hands off two carriers using a single
arm mechanism with two hands (dual end effectors).
