【翻译】在CCF中设计配方

​当你把两个全牛肉饼、特制酱料、生菜、奶酪、泡菜、洋葱放在一个小圆芝麻面包上，任何一个超过一定年龄的人都能告诉你你会得到什么。许多人会说，巨无霸与其他汉堡的区别在于它的特殊酱料，而正是这种酱料使它成为有史以来最畅销的产品之一。

在2016年3月的一篇博客中，Cimetrix列出了使用CIMControlFramework(CCF) 开始一个设备控制应用程序时需要考虑的11点。其中需要考虑的一件事情是，如何通过使用配方提供工艺和在设备中的路径信息。这篇博客文章更深入地探讨了设备控制应用程序的配方。

在CCF中，配方可以是工艺配方，也可以是顺序配方。

 

 

工艺配方包含由特定工艺模块执行的指令。这些指令涉及范围可以从温度设置到气体流量的类型。任何设备控制应用程序最重要的一件事是可以让设备制造商做他们最擅长的事情——比世界上任何其他的人更好地执行他们的工艺。工艺配方就是让设备制造商将可以他们的特殊酱料添加到晶圆上。CCF提供了一个示例工艺配方的实现以及一个非常简单的工艺配方编辑器。因为配方通常是为每个设备制造商定制的，所以CCF应用程序开发人员通常希望自定义工艺配方的内容。

如果物料的工艺是特殊的酱料，那么应用程序的其他部分，晶圆片在机台内部的移动，则是一个必要之恶。为了支持物料在机台内的运动，CCF还提供了一个顺序配方。顺序配方确定要运行哪些工艺配方，在哪些模块里运行它们，以及执行的顺序。CCF提供了一个顺序配方编辑器的示例，可用于创建顺序配方或根据每个设备制造商的需要进行定制。

工艺配方和顺序配方可以在机台上创建，也可以从工厂主机下载。CCF提供一个处理器，它从主机接收配方并将其存储在配方服务器中。无论配方是在哪里创建的，CCF的配方服务器都在本地存储配方，并在运行作业时将它们传递给调度器。配方服务器允许在创建配方时，将其存储为工程配方。然后它们可以被提升到生产配方，以在生产环境中使用。

通过使用CCF中的配方，您可以确保您的特殊酱料可以被应用于材料加工，从而使您的机台成为历史上最畅销的机台之一。

Designing Recipes in CCF

Anyone above a certain age will be able to tell you what you get when you combine two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions – on a sesame seed bun. There are many who would argue that what sets a Big Mac apart from other burgers – and has made it one of the best-selling products of all time – is the special sauce.

In a March 2016 blog post,Cimetrix listed eleven points to be taken into consideration when starting an equipment control application using CIMControlFramework (CCF). One of the things to consider is how you want to provide process and path information through the tool using recipes. This blog post  a little deeper into the recipeaspect of equipment control applications.

In CCF, recipes are either process recipes or sequence recipes.

 

A process recipe contains the instructions to be carried out by a particular process module. These instructions can range from temperature settings to types of gas to flow. The most important aspect of any tool control application is allowing the tool manufacturer to do what they do best – perform their process better than anyone else in the world. The process recipe allows tool manufacturers to add their special sauce to the wafer. CCF provides a sample process recipe implementation as well as very simple process recipe editor.  Since recipes are generally custom for each tool manufacturer, CCF application developers usually want to customize the recipe contents for a process recipe.

If the processing of material is the special sauce, the rest of the application, moving the wafer through the tool, is a necessary evil. To assist in moving material through the tool, CCF also provides a sequence recipe. A sequence recipe determines which process recipes are to be run, at which modules to run them, and the order in which this is to occur. CCF provides a sample sequence recipe editor that can be used in creating sequence recipes or customized for each tool manufacturer’s needs.

Both process and sequence recipes can be created on the tool or downloaded from a factory host. CCF provides a handler that receives recipes from the host and stores them in the Recipe Server. Regardless of where the recipes are created, CCF’s Recipe Server stores the recipes locally and passes them in to the scheduler when a job is to be run. The Recipe Server allows recipes to be stored as Engineering recipes while they are being finalized. They can then be promoted to Production recipes for use in a production environment.

By making use of recipes in CCF, you can ensure that your special sauce is applied to material processing to help make your tool one of the best-selling in history.
