Cimetrix GEM 300 Toolkit is Integrated with Agileo Automation Equipment Software
Agileo Automation and Cimetrix Inc. announced today that LASSE (Laser Systems and Solutions of Europe) is using the Agileo A²ECF equipment automation solution and the Cimetrix CIM300™ software toolkit for their next generation of equipment.
LASSE, a subsidiary of SCREEN Semiconductor Solutions, is a process equipment manufacturer, developing laser annealing tools for the semiconductor industries. When LASSE recognized the challenges of automating their tools and integrating them with a wide range of robotics platforms (Equipment Front End Modules or EFEMs) - such as 6-axis robot for thin wafer handling and 200mm and 300mm wafer handling - they turned to Agileo Automation to develop a turnkey solution. Agileo, a Cimetrix Partner, will integrate the Cimetrix CIM300 software into their equipment monitoring software framework, A²ECF, and then deploy the integration into the LASSE equipment.
A²ECF is an equipment automation solution that supports major EFEM platforms and delivers process and alarm management, recipe management, SEMI E95 compliant graphical user interface, and customizable schedulers with graphical representation.
The Cimetrix CIM300 toolkit supports the development of SEMI GEM 300 standards, such as E94 (Control Job), E40 (Standard for Processing Management), and E87 Specification for Carrier Management).
Mr. Olivier Sannier, Software Department Manager at LASSE, stated "Thanks to the joint solution proposed by Agileo Automation and Cimetrix, we could focus our attention on our core business - the laser process itself. LASSE will benefit from the expertise of both companies. Cimetrix, as the expert in SEMI standards, ensures we have a fully featured and up-to-date SEMI GEM 300 interface. Agileo Automation supported LASSE during the entire project, from equipment definition all the way through to on-site commissioning. Agileo integrated their equipment control software into our annealing tools to ensure efficient operation, enable effective interfaces with different robotics platforms, and implement host interfaces to comply with SEMI GEM 300 standards."
Mr. Sannier continued, "Agileo’s A²ECF software is an open solution, allowing LASSE to develop and integrate its own process panels and business logic inside A²ECF. This allows us to manage product enhancement and evolution with our own engineering team. We are now moving to A²ECF V4.3 to benefit from latest evolution of the product."
The system is now deployed and operational in 5 different fabs worldwide.
