rejected.

RO Information to aid the host in
understanding why a reticle is
rejected.

These are defined in the Alarm Information table.

For all the variables defined as lists of port information (such as states), the port information should be placed in the list in numerical order by
PortID, from lowest to highest.
22 Alarms
22.1 This section includes specific alarms that are required to be implemented by RPMS compliant equipment.
22.2 Alarm List Table
22.2.1 Table 57 is a listing of required alarms for both fixed buffer and internal buffer equipment. This list is only a
subset of the pod transfer alarms. There may be more pod transfer related alarms that are not listed here.

Pod Pick/Place
error
The internal robot that moves the Pods failed
to pick or place a pod. Can be triggered if the
state of the system after a pick or place is
inconsistent (i.e., both robot and pod think
they are empty).
X X X
Reticle Pick/Place
error
The internal robot that moves the reticles
failed to pick or place a reticle. Can be
triggered if the state of the system after a pick
or place is inconsistent (i.e. both robot and
pod think they are empty).
X X X
Automation Error Automation errors that do not fit other
categories have been detected.

22.3 Alarm Usage
22.3.1 Reticle and Pod Management requires standardization on the alarm codes. Many errors may be mapped to a
sinlge “generic” alarm code. In this case, the recovery scenario would be the same but the alarm text shall contain a
more descriptive explanation of the error. For example, the Pod Open/Close alarm can be caused by many different
opener errors.
22.3.2 This alarm applies to both Fixed and Internal Pod Buffer Equipment.
22.3.3 For any load port Alarm condition, process equipment should not stop processing current jobs.

pick or place is inconsistent (i.e. both robot
and pod think they are empty).
Manual intervention
Reticle Pick / Place error 10 NO The internal robot that moves the reticles
failed to pick or place a reticle. Can be
triggered if the state of the system after a
pick or place is inconsistent (i.e. both robot
and pod think they are empty).

22.4 Duplicate PodID at Production Equipment
22.4.1 If the equipment receives a pod with a PodID that is the same as that of another pod present at the
equipment, the following rules shall apply:
1. The second pod with a PodID shall not be processed.
