SEMI New Activity Report Form (SNARF)



Activity Number: 5006
SNARF for: Revisions to:
* SEMI E142, Specification for Substrate Mapping
* SEMI E142.1, XML Schema for Substrate Mapping
* SEMI E142.2, SECS-II Protocol for Substrate Mapping
* SEMI E142.3, Web Services for Substrate Mapping


Originating Global Technical Committee: Information & Control
Originating Technical Committee Region: North America
Task Force in which work is to be carried out: Sort Map Task Force


1. Rationale: The Task Force has identified several enhancements needed to the standard because there is a lack of ways to query information form the Map repository. It has been identified that a 'header' of summary results will be needed to enhance query services. In addition to these services, there is a need to correct format issues between E142 and Standard Test Data Format (STDF) for future better alignment.
Rate the Estimated Effect on the Industry
2: Major effect on an industry sector - identify the relevant sector

Rate the Estimated Technical Difficulty of the Activity
II: Some Difficulty - Disagreements on known requirements exist but developing consensus is possible

2. Scope:
a: Define the areas to be covered or addressed by this activity or document:
The Task Force has identified several enhancements, which are listed below:
* New Web Services: Queries by Lot#; Queries by Results
* Add new directory services
* Definition of a Map 'Header Results'
* Terms clarification (what is an 'upload' vs. 'download'?)
* Format conflicts with STDF
* Missing versioning and description info
* Missing creating/revision dates info

b: Expected result of activity
Revision to an existing Standard/Guideline

3. Projected Timetable for Completion:
a: General Milestones
a. Activity Start: 07/12/2010b. 1st Draft by: 05/01/2011
c. Preballot by: d. Technical Ballot by: 05/01/2011
e. Committee Approval By:07/01/2011
