The Evolution of Semiconductor Equipment Automation Standards from the 1980s to Now
The semiconductor industry’s approach to equipment automation has evolved from early serial interfaces to modern, data-centric architectures. From the early SECS/GEM standards to the GEM300 suite and the more recent Equipment Data Acquisition (EDA) suite, all efforts reflect a deeper level of automation, standardization, and data richness. This approach shows both alignment with…
Preparing for the future
R&D is a major activity to prepare the future of our solutions. We develop this activity both internally, within the framework of collaborative projects and by participating in our customers’ R&D projects. This work allows us to enrich our product offer (A²ECF-SEMI, A²ECF-Industry,…) as well as our expertise.

A LEGO Volvo needs more than bricks!
David Gustafsson spent nearly three years (about 2,400 hours) building a life-size, driveable V70 from Volvo Group out of bricks from the LEGO Group as reported by BrickNerd. To make the fragile bricks robust, he mounted the model on a steel subframe with reinforced supports under the floor and roof. In other words, the Lego car…

UNITY SC : Reducing dependency on EFEM manufacturers
To integrate its inspection and metrology modules into its customers’ industrial production lines, UnitySC uses different EFEMs (robotic wafer-loading platforms) depending on the semiconductors and types of wafers used. This diversity of equipment ended up slowing down the integration process. “Configuring the control of EFEMs using their respective manufacturer’s software can take up to two months,…
