NxSphere® GEM300
GEM300 Driver for OEMs to build automation module for 300 mm equipment compliance.
Product Overview
NxSphere® GEM300 (formerly known as STHGEM300) is a SECS/GEM300 SDK that helps OEMs make their 300 mm tools fully SEMI-compliant faster.
Built on NxSphere® GEM, it adds full support for SEMI 300 mm standards (E87, E90, E94, E116 and related specs) and automatically handles their state models and handshakes.
With its built-in 300 mm object model, sample workflows, and persistence support, engineers can focus on tool control while GEM300 manages carrier, job, and substrate coordination and ensures clean host interoperability.

Object Modeling with Model Builder
With NxSphere® GEM300, Model Builder makes it effortless to define complex 300 mm equipment objects such as load ports, substrate locations, and process modules. As you configure these objects, the tool automatically generates all the required GEM variables, events, and alarms, eliminating the need for manual coding of prerequisites. Additionally, Model Builder can instantly produce a complete SEMI GEM300 Host Communication Specification manual based on your configuration. This ensures your implementation and documentation remain perfectly aligned, saving weeks of engineering and documentation effort—all with just a few clicks.
Round-Trip Sample Program & Simulator
NxSphere® GEM300 includes a round-trip sample application that demonstrates a complete 300 mm workflow, from carrier load to lot completion. The code behind this sample leverages the intelligent API, where a single line of code triggers a cascade of actions—managing the GEM300 state machine, updating required variable data, sending events, and maintaining full SEMI compliance behind the scenes. Developers can quickly see how complex sequences are simplified into clean, readable code.
To complement this, the package also provides a GEM300 Simulator equipped with pre-built message templates that replicate the host side of communication. This allows you to test scenarios such as carrier arrival, job start, substrate tracking, and lot completion without building a host application from scratch. Together, the sample program and simulator provide a complete learning and validation environment, helping developers execute and understand the full GEM300 roundtrip workflow with ease.
