175-19567-00, Rev. A Aspen II SLE SECS II/GEM Manual 1-1
1.0 SECS I Hardware
1.1 Applicable Equipment
This document is applicable to the Aspen II Strip, ICPsm and Lite Etch semiconductor processing
equipment manufactured by Mattson Technology, Inc. It is not applicable to the Aspen II CVD or RTP
systems.
1.2 SECS I Hardware
The Aspen computer system is equipped with a GW Associates SECS I Interface Board (SIB301) which
handles communication between the Aspen equipment and the SECS host computer.
The SIB is linked to the system using a DB-25 female connector. Using RS232C, the SIB transmits on pin 2,
receives on pin 3, and uses pin 7 for common.
The SECS I Interface Board supports bi-directional communication with contention resolution by means of
using the ENQ, EOT, and ACK protocol. System bytes are used with the message transaction and are
represented by way of bytes 7 through 10 of the block header. Message interleaving and multi-open
transactions are supported by the SECS I protocol.
1.3 Loading The SIB
The SIB requires that software be loaded from a program file to the board each time the computer is cold-
started. To perform this loading manually, enter <loadsib> and the program will load the SIB and give
diagnostic messages to the user. Each time the Aspen equipment control program is executed, the SIB
operation is automatically examined. If the SIB is found not to be operating, the software automatically
reloads the SIB and restarts its operation. If the SIB does not become operational during the restart
procedure, then a message stating that the SIB is unusable will be displayed. For automatic board loading,
the “loadsib” file must exist in the /user/qnx directory.
1.4 SIB Configuration
In order for the SIB to properly interface with the local SECS system, various parameters must be
configured on the SIB. The parameters are stored in a disk file called CFGSIB.DAT. Each time the Aspen
equipment control program is executed, the configuration file is read into the SIB. To create or edit the
configuration file, enter <edcfg>. The upper part of the display will show the current configuration. If the
configuration file does not exist, then the display will show the default parameter settings. When the editing
program is executed, the operation of the SIB is checked and the status of the SIB is displayed in the upper
right hand corner. If the SIB is found to be operating, then it will display “SIB is Running”; otherwise, “SIB
is down” will be displayed. The display will also show a customer identification number. This number is
used for software control and portability. The lower part of the display provides editing selections. To edit a
selected parameter, enter the first letter of the selection. If an out-of-range value is entered for the selection,
the default value will be automatically entered for that selection. The upper part of the display will reflect
the changes made by editing.
The configuration editor can be used to ascertain the type of problem the SIB may have if the SIB does not
become operational. When exiting the editor, the editor configures the SIB with the current data from the
editor and then checks the SIB status. If the check fails, the editor will display the errors to the user.
SECS I Hardware SIB Configuration
1-2 Aspen II SLE SECS II/GEM Manual 175-19567-00, Rev. A
[C]ustomer ID:
Provides editing of the customer identification number. The customer number range is from 0 through
32767. Default is 0. The customer number is used to define the file name for the file used to configure the
S6F3 static report generation. Other customer specials in software may be enabled by their specific
Customer ID.
[D]evice ID:
The device number is the number that identifies the device to a node or a host. The device number range is
from 0 through 32767. Default is 0.
[P]rotocol:
Protocol describes the type of communication being used. SECS is the only standard protocol the Aspen
system supports. The system does allow the user to append additional sub-protocols to the fixed SECS
protocol. If AS1F2 is included, then the SIB will automatically reply to the host S1F1 primary message
without the Aspen application program operating. If AS2F26 is included, then the SIB will automatically
answer the host’s loopback S2F25 call without operation of the Aspen application program. To include or
exclude these protocols, enter the protocol selection and answer [Y]es or [N]o to the selection questions.
[B]aud Rate:
The available baud rates are: 19200, 9600, 4800, 2400, 1200, 600, 300, 150, and 110. The default baud rate
is 9600. Baud rate 19200 has been verified to work on current software.
[T]imers:
T1: Inter Character Time-out, accepts values from 0.1 through 25.5 seconds. Default value is 0.5 seconds.
T2: Block Protocol Time-out, accepts values from 0.1 through 25.5 seconds. Default value is 3.0 seconds.
T3: Reply Time-out, accepts values from 1.0 through 120 seconds. Default is 30.0 seconds.
T4: Inter Block, accepts values from 1.0 through 120 seconds. Default is 10.0 seconds.
[R]etry:
Retry parameter accepts values from 0 through 31. Default is 3.
[S]4 Cassette Transfer Message:
Use S4 Messages to do the cassette transfer in remote control mode. Default is No.
[I]dle Notification Timer:
Aspen will send the report to the host if the system is in idle longer than the specified time. Default is 0
hours and no report will be sent to the host. Units are hours.
[Q]uit:
Exits the configuration editor without saving the configuration data to disk along with not configuring the
SIB with the currently displayed parameters.

with the same parameter values.
1.5 Equipment Monitoring of Host and Message Spooling
The Aspen equipment supports establishing communications with the host. By default, the Aspen equipment
uses the S1F1 message. The host can change this to S1F13 by using the S2F15 New Equipment Constant
message. See details in the S2F15 description. The Equipment Constant, the defined reports, report
enabling, event linkage to report, spooling enabling and data constants received from the host will be stored
on disk and will be reloaded each time the Aspen equipment is rebooted.
Each time the Aspen operational control software is executed, the software will send a S1F1 (or S1F13)
formatted message to the host to determine if the host is online. If there is no reply from the host, the Aspen
will assume that the host is down and will not attempt to send any equipment-generated messages to the
host. Aspen will only resend the S1F1 (or S1F13) message once every minute until the host responds to the
Aspen equipment. If a reply or a back online message S1F1 (or S1F13) has been received by the equipment
in three pollings, any equipment-generated messages will be sent to the host. Otherwise, the equipment-
generated messages will be moved to the spooling queue or be dropped, depending on whether the message
is being predefined as spooling enabled or disabled. Once the equipment has received a reply or a back
online message, the equipment changes its not-communicating status to communicating status and waits for
a S6F65 spool command message from the host to determine how to dispense the messages.
The host may preselect the streams and functions that are to be spooled by using the S2F65 message. The
default setup is with all messages disabled.
Anytime that a message sent to the host fails in the transaction, the host will be assumed to be down and the
equipment will again retry the host with a S1F1 (or S1F13) message once every minute until the host is
found to be online. During the time that the host is offline, the spooling scheme will be active.
If the equipment receives a primary message besides S1F1 and S1F13 from the host during the time that the
equipment sees the host condition as being down, the Aspen will ignore the message and will continue to
resend a S1F1 or S1F13 message to the host once every minute. When the communication line is
established, the equipment spooled messages will not be automatically sent but held in the spooler waiting
the S6F65 Spool Reset message from the host.
Each message generated by the equipment will automatically be placed into a message spool from which the
message is sent to the host. If the sending of the message to the host fails, the message will remain in the
spool. If the message is successfully sent to the host, the message will be removed form the spool. If the
equipment attempts to send the message more than twice and the host continues to reject that one message
while accepting the S1F1 (or S1F13) message, then the Aspen equipment will drop the message from the
spool. All spooled messages are sent first-in, first-out.
Approximately 250 messages can be stored in the message spool, depending on the size of the stored
messages.

* The second chamber's Event IDs are only valid in a dual-chamber system. If a system is configured with
only one chamber, no matter on which side the chamber is mounted, the second chamber's Event IDs will be
invalid. The Aspen system always uses the first set of Event IDs for single-chamber systems.
For dual-chamber systems, the first chamber is assigned to the RIGHT chamber and the second chamber is
assigned to the BACK chamber.

175-19567-00, Rev. A Aspen II SLE SECS II/GEM Manual F-1
Appendix F—Remote Control Operation
The Aspen Equipment is switched from Engineering Mode to Remote Mode by typing <TR> toggle remote
on the equipment keyboard. The status screen will then display "Remote Mode." The Aspen can be returned
to the Engineering Mode by typing <TR>. The Host can switch the Aspen to Remote Mode with the S2F41
Remote Command.
While in the remote control mode, the Aspen SECS II software tracks the state and status of the equipment
by receiving state transition information from the equipment control software and then replying with the
appropriate equipment control messages at the proper time. All of the control information is generated with
the Aspen/SECS II software, while the host only supplies material handling and processing recipe
information. The host can determine which of the three modes, Engineering, Operator, or Remote, the
equipment is currently in by using Variable ID 25.
The equipment has two ports. When viewed from the front of the system, the first port is assigned to the left
cassette, which has an ID of "1". The second port is assigned to the right cassette, which has an ID of "2".
All requested processing recipes must reside on the Aspen system disk before they can be used for
processing.
While in Remote Mode, with the host responding to the Aspen system that it has no more cassettes to
process, the cassette door will remain open. To close the cassette door for some reason, the operator must
change the Aspen to Operator Mode and select the option from the front panel screen. To resume the Remote
Mode, the operator must change the Aspen system to Semi-Auto or Full-Auto Mode, and the cassette door
will open automatically.
If the host is not using S4Fx (S4F1 / S4F17) to unload the cassettes, please disregard the next section.
Using S4 Functions to Remove Cassettes from the Aspen Equipment
The Aspen system has finished processing the wafers and the cassettes are in the cassette nest and ready to
be removed from the Aspen system.
After the wafers have been processed, the Aspen will swap the inner and outer cassettes, backfill the shuttle
and open the cassette door. The host can detect the event of Unload Material Request, obtain the status of the
outer cassettes, and initiate the Material Transfer Request function by issuing S4F17 with Port ID to the
Aspen equipment.
The Aspen will accept the message S4F17 if the Aspen equipment is in Remote Control Mode and there is a
finished cassette at the specified port waiting for the transfer; otherwise, the Aspen will acknowledge with
an error to the host. Then, the Aspen sends a S4F1 message, Ready to Send Material, to the host and waits
for the acknowledge. When the host is ready to receive the cassette, a message S4F3 will be sent to the
Aspen Equipment. Upon the receipt of S4F3, the Aspen follows the status of the cassette to be removed. If
the T1 timeout occurs before the removal of the cassette, the Aspen will send S4F9, Stuck in Sender, and
S4F7, Not Ready to Send, to the host, so the host can stop its transfer mechanism. If the Aspen detects that
the cassette is gone but fails to receive S4F5 before the T3 timeout, a message, S4F13, Send Incomplete
Receiver, will be sent to the host.
If the second port also requires a cassette to be unloaded, the host should initiate the transfer sequence again.
If the host is not using S4Fx (S4F1 / S4F17) to load the cassettes, disregard the next section.
Appendix F—Remote Control Operation Using S4 Functions to Insert Cassettes into the Aspen
F-2 Aspen II SLE SECS II/GEM Manual 175-19567-00, Rev. A
Using S4 Functions to Insert Cassettes into the Aspen Equipment
If the Aspen finds a port available to receive the material, the Aspen sends a message S4F17 (Request to
Receive Material) with Port ID, Request to Receive Material, to the host and waits for a reply.
If the host acknowledges the message and sends a message S4F1, Ready to Send, to the Aspen, the Aspen
will send a message S4F3, Send Material, to advise the host that it is ready to receive material. If the Aspen
detects that the material has been transferred at the specified port, two messages, S4F5 and S4F15, which are
Handshake Complete and Material Received, will be sent to the host and the Aspen will stop the transfer
mechanism. If material is not received before the T3 timeout, the Aspen sends a S4F11 message, Stuck in
Receiver, to the host.
If a S4F18, Request to Receive Acknowledge, message, which is the response of the S4F17, Request to
Receive Material, message, indicates that the host is busy, the Aspen will wait for a minute and initiate the
transfer again.
If a message S4F7, Not Ready to Send, is received by the Aspen which indicates that no material is being
sent to the Aspen equipment, the Aspen monitor will display "Host Has No Cass. To Send At Port #". and
sends a message S4F5, Handshake Complete, to the host. If none of two ports is loaded with material, Aspen
will wait for a minute and initiate the transfer again.
If the material is loaded, the Aspen will then display "
Caution Cassette Door Will Be Closing" on the
monitor screen. This message will remain on the screen for 10 seconds and then the cassette door will begin
to close.
If the Aspen detects that the cassettes are loaded without a Material ID, the Aspen will send S3F11, Material
ID Request, to the host.
Cassettes Transfer Without S4 Messages
The Aspen will not initiate the S4F17, Request to Receive Material, message and other S4 messages. In this
case, the Aspen will ignore any S4 messages sent by the host. The host may send Material ID Send (S3F13)
after the cassette has been manually loaded at the specified port.
Aspen Requests to Open Cassette Door
An Event (39) will be sent to the host. If the Aspen is in Remote and Full-Auto or Semi-Auto mode, the host
may send an OPEN DOOR command with S2F41, Host Command Send, to open the cassette door.
Otherwise, the operator must press the panel button or palm buttons to open the door.
Wafer Location Requests
1. Aspen Requests Top Wafer Number
An Event (33) will be sent to the host to request the Top Wafer Number. The Aspen will wait for the host to
send S2F41, Host Command Send, with TOP command and WAFER number.
2. Aspen Requests Bottom Wafer Number
An Event (34) will be sent to the host to request the Bottom Wafer Number. The Aspen will wait for the host
to send S2F41, Host Command Send, with BOTTOM command and WAFER number.
Wafer Location Requests Appendix F—Remote Control Operation
175-19567-00, Rev. A Aspen II SLE SECS II/GEM Manual F-3
3. Aspen Requests Wafer Counts
An Event (68) will be sent to the host to request the Left Wafer Count and an Event (69) to request the Right
Wafer Count. The Aspen will wait for the host to send S2F41 with the wafer counts.
Note If the Aspen tool has Wafer Mapping set to “Mattson” or “Receive from Host”, in the mconf
screen, the Aspen system will not request any wafer data. It will go directly to the Route/Recipe
Select screen after the cassettes are loaded.
“Mattson” Wafer Mapping: Once the “Run” command has been issued, the tool will map the wafers and
send the information to the host computer while the cassette door is closing if Mattson wafer mapping
hardware is installed.
“From Host” Wafer Mapping: The wafer map can be sent anytime before the cassette door is closed. The
Aspen system will request the map from the host if it has not been received before the cassette door is closed
with Event 152.
4. Aspen Requests Recipe Name, Number or Route Number
An Event (35) will be sent to the host. The Aspen will wait for the host to send S2F41 (Host Command
Send) with RECIPE command and NUMBER or NAME. The Aspen will also accept S2F27, Initiate Process
Request. If a zero length PPID of S2F27 (Initiate Process Report) is found, the Aspen will use the current
outer recipe number. If in routing mode, an Event (48) will be sent to the host. The Aspen will wait for the
host to send the S2F41 ROUTING command with NUMBER.
5. Aspen Requests Run Selection
An Event (38) will be sent to the host. The Aspen will wait for the host to send the S2F41 (Host Command
Send) with RUN CONTINUOUS or RUN SINGLE command.
6. Aspen Requests to Close Cassette Door
An Event (45) will be sent to the host. If the Aspen is in Remote and Full-Auto or Semi-Auto Mode, the host
may send the CLOSE DOOR command using S2F41 (Host Command Send) to close the cassette door;
otherwise, the operator must press the panel button or palm buttons to close the door.
7. Aspen Requests Wafer Map Data and Reports Mapping Completed
If wafer mapping is set to “receive from host”, the Aspen sends Event (152) to request data if the data has
not been received yet. If wafer mapping is set to “Mattson”, then wafer mapping is accomplished as the
cassette door closes. Both Mattson Wafer Mapping and Wafer Map from Host will send Event (86) Wafer
Mapping Completed.
8. Remote Command to Control the Operation
The host may also send the Remote Command Send (S2F21 or S2F41) to pause, reset, stop and resume the
equipment operation.
