The resulting schedule is a list of commands interpreted by the Schedule Executor. You can configure the job execution by modifying the XSLT transformations. They are translated into a material schedule by the Scheduler using a set of rules described in an XSLT file. The Job definitions are stored in XML format. The GIFT implementation of a job executor consists of material Scheduler and Schedule Executor. The Job Executor directs the material transport inside the equipment with the recipes execution by each process module. All object attributes, methods and the related data structures are exposed to the client application through dedicated COM interfaces. The carriers, the substrates and their locations, as well as the process and control jobs are considered dynamic objects. They represent the static structure of the equipment to be controlled. All hardware devices and the system are modeled as E98 objects. The design of the GIFT server follows the concepts of SEMI E98 standard - Object Based Equipment Model.

Device drivers implementing specific communication protocols support the communication with the various equipment modules. It manages all SECS transactions and implements most GEM requirements such as data tracing and event reporting. The communication with the factory host is facilitated by another component - GEM Engine. It features highly customizable user interface and COM based application-programming interface. The centerpiece of the system is the GIFT Server. The rules for the wafer transport between different equipment locations can be modified by using XSLT transformations. The final step is customization of the wafer-scheduling algorithm. At this point you can specify any ActiveX control that needs to be integrated. The GIFT Builder offers a visual user interface configuration, which lets you select the views required by the application. Genmark Automation provides examples in VC, VB and Delphi to ease the integration process. The next step is implementation of a COM interface between the GIFT Server and your process control software. The GEM Builder uses standard and custom databases to generate the program definitions, the run-time configuration data and the GEM documentation. The custom process modules are defined along with their GEM specific alarms, events, variables and constants.

You can select from various models and specify an arbitrary set of load ports, robots, pre-aligners, carrier and wafer ID readers, E84 interfaces and mini-environment controllers. All system functions and objects are easily available through COM interfaces.Ī new application design begins with specification of the hardware device configuration using the GIFT Builder. It lets you integrate your own process modules, embed application specific ActiveX controls for process monitoring or recipe editing, or configure tool specific wafer scheduling. The GIFT is highly customizable application utilizing technologies such as COM/DCOM, ActiveX, XML and XSLT. The product features advanced user interface, broad range of supported automation hardware and presets for many 300mm semiconductor factories.

It offers off-the-shelf factory host-computer interface, which are compliant with all related SEMI standards.
