These specifications, covering wafers, carriers, loadports, and tape frames, have enabled the industry to continue the development of equipment, materials, interfaces, and processes, but further standardization will be necessary for a successful transition to manufacturing on 450 mm wafers. Directed by customer requirements, SEMI Standards task forces are now at work on 13 other proposals, and new proposals are expected to be generated this summer during SEMICON West. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140703091435/http://www.semi.org/node/45801">More</a>... <hr noshade size="1" color="#B06F00"> SEMI Standards Program Updates <ul> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140703091435/http://www.semi.org/node/45746">New Voting System</a> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140703091435/http://www.semi.org/node/45776">Regs and PG updated</a> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140703091435/http://downloads.semi.org/web/wstdsbal.nsf/NewPubsList">New and Revised Standards</a> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140703091435/http://downloads.semi.org/web/wstdsbal.nsf/NTS">New SNARFs</a> </ul> <hr noshade size="1" color="#B06F00"> New and Revised SEMI Standards Are you looking for new or revised SEMI Standards, but find it difficult to figure out what was recently published?
