12.2 GEM Interface
12.2.1 General
Explanation of Terms:
GEM => Generic Equipment Model 12
SECS-II => Semiconductor Equipment Communication Standard, Part 2 12
Host computer => Communications computer 12
WIth the GEM/SECS-II interface, it is possible to control a SIPLACE station using any host com-
puter which is compatible with GEM. However, the station computer at the SIPLACE station must
be left connected to the line computer to allow the machine, set-up and cluster data to be pro-
grammed and loaded into the station computer. The station computer packs this data in a place-
ment program and makes this available to the host computer for uploading. During operation, and
depending on the control mode, the host or line computer provides the SIPLACE station with the
necessary machine, set-up and cluster data or with the placement program. 12
