openSECS_driver is a software library which provides connectivity and communication with SECS (SEMI Equipment Communication Standards) compliant semiconductor manufacturing equipment. It is the first of its kind to be designed and built entirely for Microsoft .NET environment.

openSECS_driver is designed from ground-up for object-oriented programming. The object model is intuitive while providing powerful features for SECS interface development. From connectivity (E4 SECS-I, E37.1 HSMS-SS) to message construction and library (E5 SECS-II) as well as built-in logging and parsing utilities.

Harnessing the benefits of .NET Framework and the development environment of Visual Studio .NET, openSECS_driver enables developers to build SECS interfaces into their software with speed and ease within a tightly integrated set of comprehensive platform. Organisation benefits from getting the most out of their existing technology investment as .NET offers compatibility to yesterday's technology while creating new ways to implement powerful, cost-effective information technology for future needs.

Already a proven technology with implementation in several front-end and back-end fabs, from IDM to sub-contractors, openSECS_driver is embedded into station controllers, EI middleware, compliance test tools and other diagnostic and production software.
