The SEMATECH Style Guide

The SEMATECH Style Guide establishes guidelines for communicating SEMATECH information effectively—a SEMATECH style— and promotes the use of common, widely applied treatments for tables, executive summaries, etc. This approach serves the broad customer base of SEMATECH better than adopting standards from any single company, professional organization, or government organization.

As much as possible, The Chicago Manual of Style was used to establish these standards because it is widely accepted. The Handbook of Technical Writing provided standards for topics that are unique to technical documentation. Some topics required more specialized expertise.
