Open run card ->DEEPENING PLAN
From concept to research artifact.
Equipment and facilities depth teaches state, availability, environment, utilities, and EHS vocabulary while avoiding operating instructions.
Vocabulary and mechanisms
- State ladder: productive, standby, engineering, scheduled down, unscheduled down, and queue pressure.
- Environment ladder: particle class, recovery, vacuum envelope, utility load, exhaust/abatement vocabulary.
- Safety boundary: public education can name categories and evidence needs but cannot become a procedure.
Queued seed simulations
- Leak-rate and pumpdown diagnostic vocabulary replay using safe public envelope variables.
- Cleanroom recovery and excursion replay with particle burden and recovery-time proxies.
- OEE and RAM decomposition replay separating availability, utilization, and unscheduled loss.
- Utility-load excursion replay connecting tool mix, UPW, exhaust, chilled water, and power demand.
- Chamber/source boundary to feature-scale particle transport and surface evolution, with equipment state kept outside the normalized browser replay.
- Bounded CCP/ICP architecture, source, bias, matching, wall-loss, radial, and evidence states connecting equipment vocabulary to wafer-facing delivery without exposing operation.
- Flow-model context, gas admission, wall source, conductance-limited effective pumping, chamber/foreline inventory, exact ledgers, and role-specific evidence gates.
- Categorical vacuum and CCP/ICP context feeding a bounded RIE mechanism state, with equipment commands, physical setpoints, recipes, and automatic handoffs disabled.
- Process-device-yield integration replay separating variation families, device evidence, circuit margin, reliability and yield evidence, genealogy, role review, exact ledgers, and the human-reviewed public-atlas handoff.
- Six-family etch evidence atlas separating HAR transport and profile, ALE cycle completeness, selective-etch surface fate, DRIE cycle and feature transport, strip and ash residue handoff, and wet-etch reaction and geometry evidence.
- Seven-family deposition evidence atlas separating PVD transport, CVD reaction and conformality, ALD cycle completeness, furnace thermal and batch history, epitaxy interface and strain, selective-deposition surface contrast, and ECD seed-to-gap-fill evidence.
- Seven-family patterning and module atlas separating mask-data and reticle control, substrate and wafering quality, scanner and track evidence, implant beamline interaction, thermal history, clean-surface state, and CMP removal and handoff evidence.
- Four-family sensor and control atlas separating endpoint signal interpretation, inspection and measurement-system evidence, chamber-state FDC and maintenance evidence, and edge, bevel, backside, all-surface, and yield handoff evidence.
- Three-family factory and facilities atlas separating cluster routing and handoff state, facility utilities and abatement context, and resource, operating-state, emissions, allocation, and assurance evidence.

Open all-domain roadmap ->EVIDENCE BACKLOG
What this lane needs next.
The backlog keeps future additions useful rather than noisy. New pages should enter through a domain tag, public source anchor, model boundary, and precomputed evidence package.
What is already usable
- SA-EQP-001 adds cleanroom, vacuum, tool-state, and utility-load replays.
- The lane is vocabulary and evidence planning only, not an operation manual.
- Future additions should keep EHS, abatement, gas, chemical, and emergency workflows out of public pages.
Good candidates
- EHS vocabulary
- abatement boundary
- facility data dictionary
- chamber/source-to-feature boundary evidence connecting owned plasma or vapor distributions to feature-scale transport without exposing equipment operation
