Mask Vendor Connectivity (MaVen) now in production
The RSM mask house interface provides for data exchange with mask suppliers using the SEMI standard P10. Reticle records in the RSM database are automatically created when the reticle order file is send to the mask-house. The progress of the manufacturing process in the mask house, e.g. production status, estimated time of arrival (ETA), etc. can be monitored with the RSM. Upon delivery of the reticle the electronic Certificate of Conformance (CofC) is automatically validated and verified with the original reticle order file. The RSM then supports the corresponding authority to sign-off the new reticle for production use in the fab. (Details).
