1 International Standards Benefiting a Global Industry: The SEMI Approach Kwang-Woo Park Operation Manager, SEMI Korea kpark@semi.org 1

2 Introduction Brief introduction to SEMI SEMI Standards Program Development of a SEMI standard Publication of SEMI Standards Regional SEMI FPD Standards organization and Issued FPD Standards 2

3 SEMI SEMI is a 33-year old international trade association representing suppliers of equipment, materials and services to the worldwide semiconductor and related industries SEMI 's mission is to help its members achieve their common corporate objectives by providing a means for addressing industry issues collectively At present, SEMI has about 2450 corporate members SEMI has a global presence with offices where the semiconductor, FPD, MEMS and other related industries are active 3

4 SEMI Services to the Industry International and regional exhibitions SEMICON and FPD Expo trade shows Business, technical and educational seminars, various symposia and workshops, newsletters, periodic trade missions, etc Promotion of government policies to meet the needs of its members including free and open market access Member supported market statistics Industry initiatives e.g., PCS, EH&S International standards 30 th Anniversary ( )! 4

5 SEMI International Standards Program Framework to bring experts from SEMI members and their customers together to facilitate the timely creation of commercially useful standards for the global semiconductor, FPD, MEMS and related industries SEMI is a supplier organization, but the standards program has also included users and related organizations since its inception in 1973 Since 1987, SEMI standards have been developed, published and used internationally SEMI does not charge a fee for participation in its standards program 5

6 What are Consensus Standards? Consensus: general or widespread agreement among all the members of a group All SEMI Standards are developed on the basis of consensus among all participating volunteers in all regions of the world Consensus-based Standards ensure wide applicability and common understanding of best practice 6

7 What are Voluntary Standards? In the U.S. and many other countries, there is a mixture of government-enforced and voluntary standards All SEMI Standards are international and voluntary they are not enforced by the government but rather exist to improve the dialogue between companies worldwide and to enable cost-effective manufacture and distribution of products and services 7

8 Program Characteristics - I Program is guided by formal Regulations approved on an international basis More than 20 SEMI staff members provide administrative support for the Program worldwide Meetings for document development are conducted in North America, Japan, and Europe as of 2001 also in Korea and Taiwan Moving to electronic communications and document development to reduce need for travel 8

9 Program Characteristics - II Language assistance is frequently provided at task force and committee meetings and with documents Worldwide distribution of document drafts and ballots to seek global consensus Working relationships with regional consortia and standards developing organizations Standards can be obtained from the SEMI Web Site or on CD-ROM (print editions phasing out) Editions of SEMI Standards are available in English, Japanese, and Chinese 9

11 Worldwide Membership % % % Japan Asia Pacific Europe North America ROW Notes: Asia Pacific includes China, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan 10.9% % 110 Total Membership: 2925 (Korea: 47 including 26 FPD membership) 11

12 Types of SEMI Standards and Guidelines Standard (full international consensus): Specification Test method Practice Guide Terminology Classification Special cases: formats, charts, reference photographs, etc. Provisional standard (full international consensus, but not complete in one or more respects) Proposed standard (technical committee approval; two-year life only) Safety guidelines (full international consensus advisory in nature; special conditions for approval; cannot be proposed ) 12

13 Development of a SEMI Standard INDUSTRY NEEDS Use Technology Trends Suppliers Users Idea to Committee Draft (Task Force) Global Technical Committee Consensus Procedural Review (RSC) 13

14 SEMI Global Standardization Process Participation open to all qualified individuals worldwide Documents are developed and balloted worldwide The SEMI global standardization process is based on one vote per company on an international basis in contrast to ISO/IEC, which achieve international consensus based on reconciling national positions by negotiation, allowing one vote per country SEMI Regulations have the following requirements for approval: 60% return requirement (official voting members) Committee must consider all valid comments 80% or more of valid votes must be favorable or abstaining with at least 20% favorable Procedural review by regional standards committee Appeals process in place to review perceived procedural issues and inequities 14

15 Where SEMI Standards Apply From I300I-J300 Global Joint Guidance Document, July 15,

16 Published Results CD-ROM (Individual and enterprise-wide license) Annual subscription Updated three times per year Each standard is posted on the SEMI Web Site in.pdf format as soon as it has been prepared for publication Various download packages are available Translations 16

17 Industry Awareness of New and Revised Standards Lists of new and revised standards are posted to the SEMI web site three times per year SEMI organizes standards technical education programs (STEPs) at major international events to let industry know about implementation of newly approved standards or critical work under development Interested parties can organize in-house seminars with assistance from SEMI 17
