SEMI standards affected by EDA Freeze 3
The SEMI Diagnostic Data Acquisition (DDA) Task Force is working on several changes in preparation for EDA Freeze 3. One of the biggest pieces is to integrate HTTP/2 using gRPC and Protocol Buffers into the EDA / Interface A standards for performance and functional benefits. This work is being done as part of the following SNARFs[1]:
- 6344 – New Standard, Specification for Protocol Buffer Semiconductor Common Components
- 6345 – Revision to Add a New Subordinate Standard: Specification for Protocol Buffers for Equipment Self Description (EqSD) to SEMI E125-0414, Specification for Equipment Self Description (EqSD)
- 6346 – Revision to Add a New Subordinate Standard: Specification for Protocol Buffers for Equipment Client Authentication and Authorization (ECA) to SEMI E132-1015 Specification for Equipment Client Authentication and Authorization
- 6347 – Revision to Add a New Subordinate Standard: Specification for Protocol Buffers of Data Collection Management to SEMI E134-0414, Specification for Data Collection Management
Additionally, the main SEMI EDA standards are being updated to add new functionality, address better ways to organize information, and address issues found in EDA Freeze 2. The corresponding SNARFs for this work include:
- 6527 – Revision to SEMI E125-0414, Specification for Equipment Self Description (EqSD)
- 6571 – Revision to SEMI E132-0419: Specification for Equipment Client Authentication and Authorization
- 6553 – Revision to SEMI E134-0319 Specification for Data Collection Management
The DDA Task Force is always looking for interested people to participate in standards development and to help the task force work through the details related to gRPC / Protocol Buffers.
