No patents were declared. Arpad Muranyi reported on the IBIS Advanced
Technology Modeling Task Group's recommendation for C_comp treatment for 6.1,
as follows - change the sentence:
* "If [C Comp Corner] is present, its value or values override any
other C_comp* representations."
to
* "If [C Comp Corner] is present, its value or values override all
[Model] C_comp, C_comp_* representations, regardless of whether the
sub-parameter sets are the same or not."
Several attendees expressed concerns about second half of new sentence being
too complex for a vote.
Mike LaBonte stated that the intent was to show that nothing C_comp-related
from [Model] should be used if [C_comp Corner] is present. Values are
overriding, where overrides are usually selective. Here, mere presence is
enough.
Radek Biernacki suggested a completely different sentence be used: "If [C Comp
Corner] is present, its subparameters should be used, and the C_comp, C_comp_*
subparameters of [Model] shall be ignored."
Mike expressed concerns about corner data requirements. Radek added that If you
have C_comp_corner, you should have at least one corner included.
With discussion, the final phrase became:
"If [C Comp Corner] is present, its subparameters take precedence over any and
all C_comp, C_comp_* subparameters of [Model]."
Arpad moved that this phrase be recommended by the Editorial Task Group to the
IBIS Open Forum for inclusion in IBIS 6.1. Radek seconded the motion. The
motion carried without objection.
Arpad moved that the Editorial Task Group recommend that IBIS 6.1 approval be
made conditional on the inclusion; Bob Ross seconded the motion. Radek
objected. Walter suggested that someone from the Editorial Task Group make the
approval motion for 6.1 at the meeting, with the change.
After discussion, Arpad withdrew the motion in favor of Walter's suggestion.
