The present disclosure is directed to a system and method to identify and track parts of a semiconductor processing chamber, as well as the status of the parts, and store status information in a centralized location as status changes over time.

Method and system for improving the operation of semiconductor processing

Implementations described herein generally relate to improved part authentication. In one implementation, a method includes acquiring information related to a part. The information may include identification information of the part and a unique code. The method further includes determining, using a stored algorithm, whether the unique code comprises a result of applying the stored algorithm to the identification information. The method further includes, responsive to determining that the unique code comprises the result of applying the stored algorithm to the identification information, activating a feature of the part or a feature of process equipment associated with the part.
