Abstract
The protocol described in the article "A Prototype SECS Message Service for Communication in the Semiconductor Manufacturing Environmentâ€' was designed in cooperation with the Subnet Task Force of the Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI) Communications Standards Committee. The technical design and a software implementation were carried out at the University of Michigan with frequent reviews by the task force, particularly during the early months. The primary development of SMS was done by James R. Moyne as a research project directed by Prof. Leo C. McAfee, Jr., and supported by the Semiconductor Research Corporation. The published article reflects the services and protocol as agreed to by the Subnet through August 1988. Moyne produced a software implementation and also a demonstration which was shown at SEMICON/West'88.
