FROM: Section/Paragraph 9.4.2.5.1

9.4.2.5.1 Because the FICS-MCS interface is not standard, the context data population will depend on the specific MCS implementation. There are five context variables that are considered here: • CarrierID – The identifier of the carrier that holds the product unit(s). This is likely to

appear in most MCS messages. • JobID – The identifier of the carrier job that is currently associated with the carrier • CarrierLocationID – The identifier of the current location of the carrier. This should

consist of two parts: the identifier of the production equipment, stocker, or transport vehicle concatenated with the identifier of the specific location within that equipment, stocker, or vehicle.

• SourceLocationID - The location of the carrier at the start of the command • DestinationLocationID - The intended new location for the carrier as specified in the

command • VehicleID – The identifier of the vehicle currently being used in the carrier job. In some

cases, the VehicleID is the same as the CarrierLocationID associated with the vehicle. • LotID and/or SubstrateID – The identifier of the product unit or group of product units

being transported. The identification of the product unit(s) is typically not available within the MCS or is not populated in the messages.

TO: Section/Paragraph 9.4.2.5.1

9.4.2.5.1 Because the FICS-MCS interface is not standard, the context data population will depend on the specific MCS implementation. There are five eight context variables that are considered here: • CarrierID – The identifier of the carrier that holds the product unit(s). This is likely to appear in most MCS messages. • JobID – The identifier of the carrier job that is currently associated with the carrier • CarrierLocationID – The identifier of the current location of the carrier. This should consist of two parts: the identifier of the production equipment, stocker, or transport vehicle concatenated with the identifier of the specific location within that equipment, stocker, or vehicle. • SourceLocationID - The location of the carrier at the start of the command • DestinationLocationID - The intended new location for the carrier as specified in the command • VehicleID – The identifier of the vehicle currently being used in the carrier job.

The identification of the product unit(s) is typically not available within the MCS or is not populated in the messages.

Justification (If necessary)Correct the number of context variables. There are actually eight listed and not five.

ent

In paragraph 9.4.2.5.1. there the CarrierLocationID is specified as a concatenation without describing how to concatenate or how to delimit the two part concatenated. This adds ambiguity and shall be eliminated (note, the same is now in SEMi E90, where the carrier substrate location is defined as a concatenation or carrierID and slot number. There is a zoo of implementations for this concatenation, which is not desirable for a standards specification like this.

[TF input: Recommend no change for now, but may be item for future improvement. Note that E90 also has this similar problem, where this issue also needs to be addressed.]

Comment 9RQ-00032 both bullets: Change the bullet symbol to the solid dot one used for 1st level bullets per SM 1-10(3) and for consistency with how other RQs are done (e.g., RQ-00040).

Comment 10RQ-00040 2nd and 5th bullets: Change the hanging indent (to make the second line align with the first) per SM 1-10(4). Also, move “[/RQ]” to end of 5th bullet for consistency with how other RQs are done (e.g., RQ-00031).

Comment 11Comment row/line following RQ-00050: This Note should be flush left (i.e., not indented). Also, please con-firm that it is 9 pt font size per SM 1-12(1) as it appears to be 10 pt.

Comment 12R1-3/R1-4: There is a misnumbering of the section number where there are two sets of R1-3 and R1-4 (the second set follows the first one where the numbers should have continued on as R1-5, R1-6, etc.

Comment 13R1-3.1, Table R1-1: This table appears to extend too far left to just into the heavy black ballot border unlike other earlier tables where the right-hand border is still visible. May need to either shift it left to left margin and/or narrow it.

Comment 14R1-4.1, Table R1-2: This table appears to extend too far left to just into the heavy black ballot border unlike other earlier tables where the right-hand border is still visible. May need to either shift it left to left margin and/or narrow it.

Comment 152nd R1-3.1, Table R1-3: This table appears to extend too far left to just into the heavy black ballot border un-like other earlier tables where the right-hand border is still visible. May need to either shift it left to left mar-gin and/or narrow it.

Comment 162nd R1-4.1, Table R1-4: This table appears to extend too far left to just past the heavy black ballot border. May need to either shift it left to left margin and/or narrow it. Note that part of the text in row 11 is covered up by the black ballot border.

Comment 17R1-5.2, Table R1-5: This table appears to extend too far left to just into the heavy black ballot border unlike other earlier tables where the right-hand border is still visible. May need to either shift it left to left margin and/or narrow it.

Comment 18R1-6.1, Table R1-6: This table appears to extend too far left to just into the heavy black ballot border unlike other earlier tables where the right-hand border is still visible. May need to either shift it left to left margin and/or narrow it.

Comment 19R1-7.2, Table R1-7: This table appears to extend too far left to just into the heavy black ballot border unlike other earlier tables where the right-hand border is still visible. May need to either shift it left to left margin and/or narrow it.

Comment 20R1-7.4, Table R1-8: This table appears to extend too far left to just past into the heavy black ballot border un-like other earlier tables where the right-hand border is still visible. May need to either shift it left to left mar-gin and/or narrow it. Also, row - appears to extend well into the black border as compared to the other rows.

Comment 21R1-7.4, Table R1-8, row -: The “N/A” is not defined, but needs to be. Note that in RQ-90002, NA is defined as “not applicable”, but this is as a compliance code, which does not seem to be the case here.

Comment 22R2-3.1 2nd sentence: Change “use” to “used” for correct grammar. Also, the “or for context data” seems re-dundant to “are used for context data” at the end of the sentence so one or the other should be deleted.

Comment 23Fig. R3-1: The term “ZFS” is undefined. I noted in the background statement for the 1/28/15 changes that “ZFS” was supposed to have been changed to “storage buffer” throughout, but it appears that this was missed in this figure. The best correction is to update the figure to the standard terminology used through-out, which I believe can be done editorially since this is an RI and you documented this as an intended change in the background statement. Otherwise, if ZFS is left in the figure, a Note should be added (can be done editorially since this is an RI) to explain what ZFS means and that it is the same as ““storage buffer” used throughout the rest of the Document.

FROM: Section/Paragraph R2-3.1 2nd sentence(Bouldin Comment 22: R2-3.1 2nd sentence: Change “use” to “used” for correct grammar. Also, the “or for context data” seems redundant to “are used for context data” at the end of the sentence so one or the other should be deleted.)

R2-3.1 The two carrier job events used in the Level 4 time elements are CarrierJob-Executing and CarrierJob-Aborted. Four others are use as carrier reroute indicator events or for context data: CarrierJob-Rerouted, CarrierJob-Aborted, CarrierJob-Request, and CarrierJob-Accepted are used for context data. Other carrier job states may be reported (see ¶ 7.1.4.2). Such events may vary from one MCS implementation to another.

FROM: Section/Paragraph Fig. R3-1(Bouldin Comment 23: Fig. R3-1: The term “ZFS” is undefined. I noted in the background statement for the 1/28/15 changes that “ZFS” was supposed to have been changed to “storage buffer” throughout, but it appears that this was missed in this figure. The best correction is to update the figure to the standard terminology used throughout, which I believe can be done editorially since this is an RI and you documented this as an intended change in the background statement. Otherwise, if ZFS is left in the figure, a Note should be added (can be done editorially since this is an RI) to explain what ZFS means and that it is the same as ““storage buffer” used throughout the rest of the Document.)
