E09900 - SEMI E99 - Specification for Carrier ID Reader/Writer

 The purpose of this Standard effort is to provide a common specification for concepts, behavior, and services (functions) provided by a Carrier ID Reader and a Carrier ID Reader/Writer to an upstream controller. A standard interface will increase interchangeability of Carrier ID Reader/Writers so that users and equipment suppliers have a wider range of choices. This Standard addresses the functional requirements for a generic Carrier ID Reader/Writer interface with an upstream controller. This Standard includes required behavior and required communications for both a Carrier ID Reader and a Carrier ID Reader/Writer. This Standard does not require, define, or prohibit asynchronous messages sent by the Carrier ID Reader or Reader/Writer. Subordinate Standards (included)SEMI E99.1 — Specification for SECS-I and SECS-II Protocol for Carrier ID Reader/Writer Referenced SEMI Standards (purchase separately)SEMI E1.9 — Mechanical Specification for Cassettes Used to Transport and Store 300 mm
