450mm Wafer CMP Simulations (I)
There have been some concerns about slurry flow and temperature distributions in scaling
the CMP process from 300mm to 450mm wafers.
Araka simulations show that these concerns are unfounded. The slurry thickness, the
heating pattern and the temperature distribution look remarkably similar for these 300mm
and 450mm wafer sizes.
The wafer temperature distribution for 450mm is predicted to be a smooth extension of the
distribution for 300mm.
Temperature Distribution (60 sec)

450mm Wafer CMP Simulations (II)
•
Slurry flow is predicted to be only ~50% higher than that of 300mm wafers
(half of what area scaling predicted)
•
The mean slurry thickness on the pad reaches steady state within a few platen
rotations and slurry flow rate scaling has succeeded in producing nearly the
same mean film thickness (about 20 microns) for all tool sizes.

Setting expectations
• We are in the process of transition from
mechanical to developmental test wafers, but we
are not there yet.
– Polishing process is improving, however we still can
detect small scratches on the wafers.
– Our next goal is to reduce particle levels.
• Our cleaning tool is being installed and we are starting our
process development.
• Experimental processing of first wafers has been done by two
suppliers
• Working to improve wafer shipping.
– Surface metals metrology is in development.
2 December 2009
24
Looking ahead to 2010
• 450mm 2010 program will include:
– Enable the supply of 450mm developmental silicon wafers to continue
450mm test wafer generation program
– Continue populating the wafer bank with developmental test wafers
– Continue loan wafer program to enable suppliers’ 450mm process and
metrology equipment development
• Benchmark silicon suppliers “state of the art”
• Work with suppliers to improve wafer quality
– Lower quality required for early testing
– Increasing quality as we advance in the process development
• Continuous engagement with wafer inspection OEMs
• Validate wafer specifications in preparation for prime wafer
spec generation
2 December 2009
25
Summary
• We have seen the benefits of the wafer bank and
the suppliers interest in the wafer loan program.
We are continuously increasing the number of
wafers in circulation and improving the shipping
methodology.
• We work with the suppliers to improve the wafer
quality with the focus on metrology and cleaning.
• We have expended our interface with materials
suppliers beyond silicon (E.g., quartzware,
sputtering targets), in support of ISMI process test
wafer generation.

ISMI 450mm Test Wafer Generation
Strategy
Motivation
• Few suppliers can generate all of their own test wafer needs.
• Supplier feedback from the 300mm conversion was that I300I’s
coordination of test wafers was very useful.
– Significantly reduced cost and sped development
ISMI Approach
• Coordinate 450mm wafer processing to facilitate supplier
equipment development
• Loan 450mm test wafers for process and metrology equipment
development to suppliers
2 December 2009
28
Test Wafer Generation Stages
Early Test Wafers to assist development of prototype tools
• Key to basic Test Wafers for supplier development
• Tools and processes not expected to be of demonstration maturity
• Virtual processing at suppliers site OK for most processes
Test Wafers to enable supplier development of Demonstration tools
• Sophisticated development-grade Test Wafers are required
• Advanced litho & patterning required for Demo Tool development
• Sufficient quantities of wafers needed for adequate testing and refinement
• Virtual processing at suppliers site OK for some processes but not others
Test Wafers to execute Demonstrations at 32nm technology or beyond
• Very sophisticated test wafers to refine their processes to 32nm or beyond
• Sufficient quantity of wafers are required to execute process testing and reliability marathons with
process stability testing

450 mm Equipment Performance
Metrics (EPMs)
•
Equipment Performance Metrics (EPMs) provide customer targets for critical
process and manufacturing performance metrics to suppliers as they begin
development of 450 mm equipment.
– Tool demonstration will focus on 32 nm capability from early testing to first
production worthy process and metrology equipment.
– Equipment maturation thereafter must achieve High Volume Manufacturing (HVM)
cost/performance to support production ramps while technology scales to 22 nm
and beyond.
•
ITRS technology requirements were the starting point for EPM development,
and refined with direct inputs from ISMI member company technical review.
•
Supplier inputs were incorporated prior to EPM publications through a series of
3 workshops attended by >80 participants from ~30 OEMs.
•
EPMs have been defined for 60 tool types in the areas of equipment
parameters, process targets, process characteristics, and manufacturing /
performance targets, and are publically available at the ISMI website.
2 December 2009
39
How to View the EPM Requirements
• Each metric is listed by attribute with units and targets for
32 nm and 22nm.
• Suppliers should target 32 nm capabilities for the 2010-11
demonstration period and plan for extension to 22 nm
capability for device maker pilot lines targeted for 2012.
Manufacturing metrics are expectations for HVM.
• It is recognized that, initially, tools will not be as capable
with regard to either process or productivity goals as the
metrics presented in this document, and may not comply
with all guidelines and standards.
• 450 mm metrics categorized in one-page format by tool
type, total 60 tools EPM documentation has been
published (6/30/2009) on SEMATECH/ISMI web site.

ESH Strategies for 450mm Equipment
Types
• ISMI’s 450mm ESH team is working to identify and align
appropriate ESH Strategies for each 450mm equipment
type
– Equipment Types are defined by the 450mm EPM Activity
• Example Strategies:
– Reduce water consumption Æ Active drain segregation on wet
cleaning tools
– Reduce air emissions Æ Remote Plasma Clean, development of
lower-GWP etch processes
– Energy conservation Æ Identify and enable idle mode opportunities
with mainframe and support equipment
C
Accurate characterization of all
environmental impacts, using ISMI
Guidelines, is a starting point;
collaboration will lead to success!

Key Messages - ISMI 450mm
Program (December 2009)
•
ISMI maintains its focus on planning a cost-effective 450mm transition, and wil
continue to drive the activities required to support the needs of its members who are
interested in realizing the 450mm transition.
•
450mm Test Wafer Generation Activity has started
– ISMI’s first two 450mm metrology tools are installed and operational; installation of the
first process equipment has begun.
•
ISMI has defined the performance targets and test methods for execution of 450mm
equipment demonstrations.
– ISMI member companies have clearly stated that they will use consortia demonstration
results as input to their 450mm equipment selection decisions.
•
ISMI’s Interoperability Test Bed (ITB) has achieved its objective of enabling the
evaluation of early prototypes to accelerate the development of Factory Integration
Standards.
•
Initial progress has been made - but many challenges remain to realize a
comprehensive 450mm infrastructure at advanced technology nodes.
– ISMI will continue to engage constructively with interested suppliers and device makers
to develop and validate solutions.
