SPECIFICATION FOR ENHANCED CARRIER HANDOFF PARALLEL I/O
INTERFACE
This specification was technically approved by the Global Physical Interfaces & Carriers Committee and is
the direct responsibility of the North American Physical Interfaces & Carriers Committee. Current edition
approved by the North American Regional Standards Committee on November 22, 2000. Initially available
at www.semi.org December 2000; to be published March 2001. Originally published June 1999; previously
published October 2000.
1 Purpose
1.1 Due to the migration to large wafer sizes, future
semiconductor factories will use extensive automated
material handling systems (AMHS) to transfer wafer
carriers, including FOUPs and open cassettes, of
increasing weight. The parallel input/output (PI/O)
control signals between the production equipment and
the AMHS must be better defined for more reliable and
efficient carrier handoffs (load/unload) at production
equipment load ports.
1.2 The purpose of this specification is to enhance the
capabilities of the parallel I/O interface defined in
SEMI E23 in order to support improvements in the
reliability and efficiency of carrier transfer. The
enhanced capabilities include continuous handoff,
simultaneous handoff, and the capabilities of error
detection on the interface.
NOTE 1: The specifications in this document shall be
considered independent from the specifications in SEMI E23;
therefore, use of this specification does not require SEMI
E23.
2 Scope
2.1 The scope of this specification is limited to
communications associated with the material handoff
operations between the active equipment (for example,
AMHS equipment including AGV, RGV and OHT) and
the passive equipment (for example, production
equipment including process and metrology equipment;
stockers, etc). This scope also extends to interbay
AMHS active equipment (i.e., OHS and stockers
equipped with transfer devices) and passive equipment
(i.e., OHS and stockers not equipped with transfer
devices). This specification defines the enhanced
parallel I/O interface signals used to handoff carriers
between the production equipment and the AMHS.
Figures 1 and 2 show examples of types of AMHS
equipment.
2.2 This enhanced carrier handoff parallel I/O
interface specification includes:
• Signal definition including load port assignment
signals (see Section 6.1),
• Carrier handoff sequence definitions and time
diagrams (see Section 6.2),
• Error indication, detection, and recovery (see
Sections 6.3 and 6.4),
• Connector type, signal, and pin assignment (see
Section 6.4), and
• Interface sensor unit size to be located at load port
defined by SEMI E15.1 (applicable for systems
designed to handle 300 mm wafer carriers).
2.3 The enhanced carrier handoff parallel I/O interface
controls the handoff of a carrier to and from the passive
equipment by the active equipment. This parallel I/O
interface only controls the automated handoff operation
of the carrier. The handoff is the operation in which a
carrier is transferred from one piece of equipment to
another. Both the active and passive equipment manage
this operation. The factory level controller (i.e., host)
does not manage the handoff operation. Figure 3 shows
applications for the parallel I/O interface specified in
this document.
2.4 This standard does not purport to address safety
issues, if any, associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the users of this standard to establish
appropriate safety and health practices and determine
the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
3 Limitations
3.1 Data for the material that is tra nsferred (handed
off) is managed through the equipment’s factory
interface. Material management by the factory level
controller is outside the scope of this document.
3.2 This specification defines the signals used to select
a load port. The physical correspondence of the parallel
I/O interface to the load port is not defined in this
document.
3.3 Error recovery procedures may need operator
assistance and/or proprietary procedures specific to the
equipment. Therefore, error recovery procedures are not
defined in this document.
3.4 Signal time diagrams apply to only one parallel
I/O interface.

3.5 The installation positions of the parallel I/O
interface and the connector on the active and passive
equipment are not defined.
3.6 The swap handoff will be considered beyond the
scope of the standard for interbay AMHS equipment
(i.e., OHS, stockers). During a swap handoff, loading
and unloading occur simultaneously on the same
loadport.

5 Terminology
5.1 access mode — a mode in whi ch passive
equipment knows which AMHS equipment (i.e. RGV,
AGV, and OHT/OHV) or operator is permitted to make
a material handoff.
5.2 active equipment — equipmen t that loads a
cassette onto the cassette stage of another piece of
equipment or unloads a cassette from the cassette stage
of another piece of equipment [SEMI E23].
5.3 automated material handling system (AMHS)
equipment — a piece of equipment which has a carrier
transfer robot that transfers carriers from and to passive
equipment. It includes rail guided vehicles (RGV),
automated guided vehicles (AGV), overhead hoist
transports (OHT), and stockers.
1 ISO Central Secretariat, 1, rue de Varembé, Case postale 56, CH-
1211 Genève 20, Switzerland
5.4 automatic access mode — a mode in which
AMHS equipment performs a material handoff rather
than an operator.
5.5 carrier — any cassette, box, p od, or FOUP that
contains wafers [SEMI E1.9]. Also known as wafer
carrier.
5.6 cassette — an open structure that holds one or
more substrates [SEMI E1.9]. Also known as open
cassette (OC).
5.7 continuous handoff — successive handoffs of two
carriers. Continuous handoff is in series, meaning one
carrier transfer occurs and is then immediately followed
by another. The continuous handoff may involve: load
and load, unload and unload, or unload and load
operations.
5.8 front opening unified pod (FO UP) — a box (that
complies with SEMI E47.1) with a non-removable
cassette (so that its interior complies with SEMI E1.9)
and with a front-opening interface (FIMS) [SEMI
E47.1].
5.9 handoff — is the operation in w hich a carrier is
transferred (loaded or unloaded) from one piece of
equipment to another.
5.10 handoff conflict area — an area where the active
equipment resource could interfere with the passive
equipment resource during the handoff operation.
5.11 handoff interlock abnormal — the state, which
indicates the passive equipment, has detected abnormal
conditions in the handoff operation. It may indicate the
possibility that the interference of the active equipment
resource with the passive equipment resource has
occurred in the handoff conflict area.
5.12 handoff unavailable — the state, which indicates
the passive equipment, is not available for material
handoff operation.
5.13 load port — the interface loca tion on a tool
where wafer carriers are placed to allow the tool to
process wafers [SEMI E15].
5.14 manual access mode — an access mode in which
an operator performs a material handoff of a carrier
rather than the AMHS equipment.
5.15 passive equipment — equipme nt that is loaded or
unloaded by active equipment [SEMI E23]. Passive
equipment includes process equipment, metrology
equipment, stockers, etc.
5.16 simultaneous handoff — concu rrent handoff
operations of two carriers. Simultaneous handoff is in
parallel, meaning two carriers are transferred at the
same time.
SEMI E84-0301 © SEMI 1999, 2001 4
5.17 single arm/double hand AMHS equipment —
AMHS equipment which hands off two carriers using a
single arm mechanism with two hands (dual end
effectors).
5.18 single arm/single hand AMHS equipment —
AMHS equipment which hands off a carrier using a
single arm mechanism with a single hand (single end
effector).
5.19 single handoff — the transfer o f a single carrier

6 Enhanced Carrier Handof f Parallel I/O
Interface Requirements
6.1 Signal Definitions
6.1.1 Table 1 shows the signals requ ired for the
enhanced carrier handoff parallel I/O interface. The
table defines signal name, the direction of the
information (P/A: P represents passive equipment and
A represents active equipment), and the description. In
the description, the meaning of the signal and the
indication of the signal level, and comments. Signals
defined in Table 1 are:
VALID Indicates that the signal transition is
active and selected.
CS_0 Carrier Stage 0
CS_1 Carrier Stage 1
TR_REQ Transfer Request
L_REQ Load Request
U_REQ Unload Request
READY READY for Transfer
BUSY BUSY for Transfer
COMPT Complete Transfer
CONT Continuous Handoff
HO_AVBL Handoff Available
ES Emergency Stop
VA Vehicle arrived ∗
AM_AVBL Transfer Arm Available ∗
VS_0 Carrier Stage 0 from Passive OHS
Vehicle ∗
VS_1 Carrier Stage 1 from Passive OHS
Vehicle ∗
∗ The VA, AM_AVBL, VS_0,1 signals are intended
only for use with interbay AMHS equipment (passive
OHS vehicles).
The VALID, CS_0, CS_1 signals are not intended for
use with interbay AMHS equipment (passive OHS
vehicles).
6.1.2 Load Port Assignment Signals
6.1.2.1 The signals CS_0 and CS_1 are used to select
load ports to be used for the handoff. For the parallel
I/O interface which is dedicated to a single load port,
the signals must be set:
CS_0 ON
CS_1 OFF
See Figures 4 and 5.
6.1.2.2 The capability to control two l oad ports by a
common parallel I/O interface is required; therefore, it
is assumed in this specification that a common parallel
I/O interface can be used to control handoffs of two
load ports.
6.1.2.3 The assignment of the load port is relevant
when two load ports use a common parallel I/O
interface. The active equipment shall select the load
port by means of the CS_0 and/or CS_1 signals (see
Figure 6).
CS_0 selects the left hand load port as viewed when
facing towards the equipment’s load ports.
CS_1 selects the right hand load port as viewed when
facing towards the equipment’s load ports.
6.1.2.4 For the simultaneous handoff, both of CS_0
and CS_1 must be set to ON at the handoff. Figure 8
shows a piece of passive equipment with four load ports
(LP1, LP2, LP3, LP4) and two parallel I/O interfaces
(PI/O#1, PI/O#2), where PI/O#1 is common to load
ports LP1 and LP2 and PI/O#2 is common to load ports
LP3 and LP4. Tables 2 and 3 show the range of signal
combinations.
6.1.3 Load Port Assignment Signals for OHS (Passive
type)
6.1.3.1 The signals VS_0 and VS_1 ar e used to select
load ports to be used for the handoff. For the parallel
I/O interface which is dedicated to a single load port,
the signals must be set;
VS_0 ON
VS_1 OFF
6.1.3.2 Two load ports can be controlled by using
VS_0 and VS_1.
VS_0 ON: Selects left hand Load port.
OFF: Does not select Left hand Load port.
SEMI E84-0301 © SEMI 1999, 20015
VS_1 ON: Selects Right hand Load port.
OFF: Does not select Right hand Load port.
VS_0 and VS_1 are controlled individually.

CS_1 A -> P Specifies the load port used for carrier handoff (see Section 6.1.2, Load Port Assignment Signals).
One PI/O device per load port
Not used (OFF)
One PI/O device per 2 load ports
ON: Use the right load port for handoff
OFF: Do not use the right load port of handoff
TR_REQ A -> P Requests the handoff to the passive equipment.
ON: the active equipment has requested the handoff
OFF: the active equipment has not requested the handoff
This signal is turned OFF when the BUSY signal transitions to OFF.
L_REQ P -> A Indicates the load port is assigned to load a carrier. L_REQ always indicates a carrier transfer from
Active to Passive equipment.
ON: The load port is assigned to load a carrier
OFF: The load port is not assigned to load a carrier
This signal is turned ON when the load port is specified by CS_0 and/or CS_1 and the VALID signal
is turned ON. This signal is turned OFF when the load port detects the carrier in the correct position.
In simultaneous handoff, the carrier on both load ports shall not be present when this signal is turned
ON, and the carriers shall be present in correct position on both load ports when this signal is turned
OFF.
U_REQ P -> A Indicates the load port is assigned to unload a carrier. U_REQ always indicates a carrier transfer
from Passive to Active equipment.
ON: The load port is assigned to unload a carrier
OFF: The load port is not assigned to unload a carrier
This signal is turned ON when the load port is specified by CS_0 and/or CS_1, and the VALID
signal is turned ON. This signal is turned OFF when the carrier on the load port is removed.
In simultaneous handoff, the carrier on both load ports shall be present in correct position when this
signal is turned ON, and the carriers shall not be present on both load ports when this signal is turned
OFF.
READY P -> A Indicates the passive equipment has accepted the transfer request from the active equipment.
ON: the passive equipment is ready for the handoff
OFF: the passive equipment is not ready for the handoff
This signal is turned ON when the passive equipment accepts the transfer request, and it is turned
OFF when the COMPT signal is turned ON.
