Standards New Activity Report Form (SNARF)
Date Prepared: 07/23/2026Revised (if Applicable):

Document Number: 7495
SNARF for: Line-Item Revision to SEMI T27-1125E, Specification for Traceability Identification Label of Component Parts

Originating Global Technical Committee: Traceability
Originating TC Chapter: Japan
Task Force (TF) in which work is to be carried out: Parts and Materials ID Task Force
Note: If a new task force is needed, also submit a task force organization form (TFOF)

___________________________________________________________________________
1. Rationale:
a. Describe the need or problem addressed by this activity.
(Indicate the customer, what benefits they will receive, and if possible, quantify the impact on the return on investment [ROI] if the Document is implemented.)
SEMI T27 - Specification for Traceability Identification Label of Component Parts which is an effective standard for semiconductor device quality control has been published in November 2025.
However, there are several items that need to be corrected, so the Task Force has agreed to make some changes.


b. Estimate effect on industry.
4: Slight effect or effect not determinable
Sector or Company Information:

c. Estimate technical difficulty of the activity.
I: No Difficulty - Proven concepts and techniques exist or quick agreement is anticipated

___________________________________________________________________________
2. Scope:
a: Describe the technical areas to be covered or addressed by this Document development activity. For Subordinate Standards, list common concepts or criteria that the Subordinate Standard inherits from the Primary Standard, as well as differences from the Primary Standard:
Line Items for corrections to SEMI T27-1125E

Line Item 1 - Correct the description ‘Value’ to ‘Data Field Content’ in Table 3.

Line Item 2 - Correct ‘1’ to ‘2’ in "Number of Characters" of No. 6 in Table 4.

Line Item 3 - Correct the description ‘40mm x 40mm’ to ‘40 x 40 modules’ in Table R1-1 and Table R1-2.

Line Item 4 - Correct the description ‘Cell size’ to ‘Module size’ in Table R1-1 and Table R1-2.

Other items that may arise during the Task Force’s development activity.

b: Expected result of activity
Line-item revision to an existing Standard or Safety Guideline

For a new Subordinate Standard, identify the Primary Standard here:


Modification of an existing part of Standard(s) or Safety Guideline(s) including Appendices, Complementary Files, and Supplementary Materials

For Standards, identify the Standard Subtype below:

5. Safety Considerations:
The resulting document is expected:
NOT to be a Safety Guideline

NOTE FOR "to be a Safety Guideline": When all safety-related information is removed from the Document, the Document is NOT technically sound and complete - Refer to Section 15.1 of the Regulations for special procedures to be followed.

NOTE FOR "NOT to be a Safety Guideline": When all safety-related information is removed from the Document, the Document is still technically sound and complete.

6. Intellectual Property Considerations:
Note: Both a: and b: below should be checked for Revision of existing Standard(s) and Safety Guideline(s).

a. For a new Standard or Safety Guideline and for any part to be modified or added in a Revision of published Standards and Safety Guidelines:
the use of patented technology is NOT required.

If "patented technology is intended to be included in the proposed Standard(s) or Safety Guideline(s) " is selected above, then also check one:


b. For Revision, Reapproval, Reinstatement, or Withdrawal of existing Standard(s) and Safety Guideline(s):
there is no known material patented technology necessary to use or implement the Standard(s) and Safety Guideline(s)

c. The body of the Document and any Appendices, Complementary Files, Related Information sections, or Various Materials that may or may not be a part of the Document by reference:
the incorporation of Copyrighted Item will NOT be required



NOTE FOR ‘the use of patented technology or the incorporation of Copyrighted Item(s) is NOT required’: If in the course of developing the Document, it is determined that the use of patented technology or Copyrighted Item(s) is necessary for the Document, the provisions of Regulations § 16 must be followed.

NOTE FOR ’will incorporate Copyrighted Item’: A copyright release letter must be obtained from the copyright owner prior to publication.
