During normal load/unload operation the presence and placement sensors may turn on/off for a very short period.
A1-4.5 ES Signal
A1-4.5.1 The ES signal allows the Passive Equipment to signify to the Active Equipment any specific instance
where the material, product, or operation is in jeopardy. The ES Signal is not loadport specific but rather tool
specific. That means, for example, if an EMO is pressed on the Passive Equipment the ES signal should be OFF on
all SEMI E84 loadports. Table A1-7 shows some specific scenarios for the ES Signal.

1 EMO button is pressed. OFF
2

Equipment is opened

equipment or stocker)

A1-4.6 L_REQ and U_REQ Signals
A1-4.6.1 When the L_REQ and U_REQ signals are turned OFF they verify the completion of the Load/Unload
sequence as indicated by the presence/placement sensors on the load port.
A1-4.6.1.1
Here are some practical examples of using these signals.
1) During a Load both Presence and Placement sensors are ON once the carrier is detected. This should signal the
L_REQ signal to turn OFF. The L_REQ signal should typically not turn OFF unless both the presence and
placement sensors are ON.
2) When delivering, the Active Equipment should not release the FOUP until L_REQ is OFF.
3) During an Unload both Presence and Placement sensors are OFF once the carrier is not detected. This should
signal the U_REQ signal to turn OFF. The U_REQ signal should typically not turn OFF unless both the presence
and placement sensors are OFF.
4) The L_REQ and U_REQ signals should turn off immediately after the presence and placement sensors have
turned ON (load) or OFF (unload). There should be no delay timer between the presence and placement sensor
ON/OFF and L_REQ / U_REQ OFF.
5) During an Unload, once the active vehicle has fully gripped the FOUP, in most cases the vehicle should ignore
the response from the U_REQ signal until completion of its move. For example, the OHT vehicle should not stop
150 mm – 300 mm above the loadport, check the status of U_REQ and then complete its move. The OHT should
fully complete its move, check U_REQ and finish the E84 sequence. If the U_REQ signal is still high after the
completion of its move and the active vehicle can be certain the carrier is safely and securely contained aboard the
vehicle, in some cases the vehicle should abort the E84 sequence and continue normally to its destination.

Error Messages
A1-4.7.1 Interlock timeouts are required to detect handoff sequence errors between the active and passive
equipment. When these timeouts occur, an error message shall be displayed to the user including the following
information: Timer Name, Timer Description, and current Timer setting. Some examples of error messages are
listed in Tables A1-8, A1-9, and A1-10.

SPECIFICATION FOR PHYSICAL AMHS STOCKER TO INTERBAY
TRANSPORT SYSTEM INTEROPERABILITY
This specification was technically approved by the global Physical Interfaces & Carriers Committee. This
edition was approved for publication by the global Audits and Reviews Subcommittee on April 7, 2005. It
was available at www.semi.org in June 2005 and on CD-ROM in July 2005. Originally published June 1999;
previously published November 2001.
1 Purpose
1.1 This specification defines the dimensional requirements for the interbay load ports of 300 mm AMHS
equipment. It is intended to promote a list of required features and dimensions that define the physical interfaces
between different types of interbay equipment, to facilitate the use of different automated transport systems in order
to meet the different material handling requirements found throughout the factory. This is done by defining six
options of interfaces that both the stocker and interbay transport system must comply with. Options defined are as
follows:
Option A: Active transport loads a carrier to an internal stocker position
Option B: Active transport loads a carrier to an external stocker position
Option C: Passive transport presents a carrier to an internal stocker position
Option D: Passive transport presents a carrier to an external stocker position (kinematic coupling pin pick-up)
Option E: Passive transport presents a carrier to an external stocker position (conveyor flange pick-up)
Option F: Passive transport presents a carrier to an external stocker position for pickup with either (a) all 3
kinematic pins, (b) all 3 secondary kinematic pins or (c) top robotic flange. Carrier is oriented with front of
carrier perpendicular to load face plane.
2 Scope
2.1 This is a standard covering physical interface of 300 mm AMHS interbay equipment only. Similar
requirements covering 300 mm AMHS intrabay equipment are covered in SEMI E15.1.
2.2 This specification does not purport to address safety issues, if any, associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the users of this specification to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the
applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
3 Limitations
3.1 This standard does not specify that every type of 300 mm stocker has to interface with every type of 300 mm
interbay transport system. It only specifies six different options of physical interface. Within any option however,
all stockers must be able to physically interface with all interbay transports. This standard only specifies single
carrier handoff and not dual simultaneous handoffs as implied by the dimensions in the rest of this document.
