Abstract: In a method of controlling operation of a processing system, a host computer, a process tool and a component of an evacuation system, for example an abatement tool, are connected to a system bus. The abatement tool monitors signals transmitted on the system bus between the host computer and the process tool, and signals received directly from the process tool. The abatement tool uses information contained within the monitored signals to generate a signal for the process tool regarding an operating characteristic of the abatement tool. This signal is transmitted either directly or over the system bus to the process tool, which uses the generated signal to control an operating state of the process tool.

Abstract: A circuit for dissipating injected parasitic charge includes a circuit stage, a pulse generating circuit and a switch. The circuit stage has an input node and an output node that injects a parasitic charge when switched OFF to the output node. The pulse generating circuit can generate a pulsed signal having an input for receiving a control signal. The control signal indicates the circuit stage is switching OFF, and has an output for outputting a pulsed signal in response to the control signal at the input. The pulsed signal can have a predetermined duration. The switch can be configured to be actuated by the pulsed signal output by the pulse generating circuit, and has a terminal connected to the output node of the circuit stage and a terminal connected to circuit to substantially dissipate the injected parasitic charge.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and computing system for defining at least a portion within a simulation modeling file for copying from an original location, thus defining an identified portion. A destination location is defined for the identified portion. A multi-threaded copying procedure is effectuated to copy the identified portion from the original location to the destination location, thus generating a copied portion of the simulation modeling file. The multi-threaded copying procedure utilizes at least two processing threads.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and computing system for identifying one or more variables included within at least a portion of a simulation modeling file. Comment data is inserted into the at least a portion of the simulation modeling file to define one or more values for each of one or more variables.
