BS EN 62258-2:2011

What is BS EN 62258-2 - Exchange data formats of semiconductor die products about?  

BS EN 62258-2 is the second part of a multi-series standard used for semiconductor die product that specifies the exchange data formats of semiconductor die products. BS EN 62258-2 is useful in manufacturing good quality semiconductor die products.  

BS EN 62258-2 specifies the data formats that may be used for the exchange of data which is covered by other parts of the IEC 62258 series, as well as definitions of all parameters used according to the principles and methods of IEC 61360. It introduces a Device Data Exchange (DDX) format, with the prime goal of facilitating the transfer of adequate geometric data between die manufacturer and CAD/CAE user and formal information models that allow data exchange in other formats such as STEP physical file format, in accordance with ISO 10303-21, and XML. The data format has been kept intentionally flexible to permit usage beyond this initial scope. It has been developed to facilitate the production, supply, and use of semiconductor die products, including but not limited to: 

• Wafers
• Singulated bare die
• Die and wafers with attached connection structures
• Minimally or partially encapsulated die and wafers

Note: This standard reflects the DDX data format at version 1.3.0 

Who is BS EN 62258-2 - Exchange data formats of semiconductor die products for? 

BS EN 62258-2 on Semiconductor die products is useful for: 

• Manufacturers of semiconductor devices 
• Manufacturers of electronic devices 
• Manufacturers of automotive parts 
• Electronic engineers 
• Semiconductor foundries 

Why should you use BS EN 62258-2 - Exchange data formats of semiconductor die products?  

A die is a small block of semiconducting material on which a given functional circuit is fabricated. 

BS EN 62258-2 specifies the data format which helps in exchanging the data related to semiconductor die products. This helps in identifying the devices for exchanging the data according to their goals and usage. By using BS EN 62258-2 you can determine the device block parameters used in the exchange data format. With the help of these formatting rules, you can understand the working process of these data exchange formats. 

 By applying BS EN 62258-2 you can transfer the data between the manufacturer and the end-user and helps in achieving the objective or goal.  This is useful in manufacturing and supplying good quality semiconductor die products.
