Silicon Industry Update • All major silicon suppliers are engaged the 450mm program and starting manufacturing developmental test wafers. • Crystals’ size is in the 500-700kg range. 40” diameter crucible are available. • Wafer processing quality is continuously improving as suppliers and equipment manufacturers advance on the learning curve. • Inspection equipment is coming (slowly) on line. • Wafer shipping methodology is in development. • We are engaged with suppliers to close gaps in silicon manufacturing and inspection line. 2 December 2009 15 Wafer Quality Improvements • The wafer quality is improving as suppliers and equipment manufacturers advance on the learning curve and new equipment become available. Nano Photonics haze maps reveal improvement between first and second polished wafer batch 2 December 2009 Peter Wolters AC 2000-P³ processing 450mm single crystal wafers Planetary pad ground single crystal wafer 16 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) 2 December 2009 Steady State Pad Temperature 17 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. Slurry Film Mean Thickness Comparison 2 December 22 October 2009 2009 18 SEMI spec • M74: SPECIFICATION FOR 450 mm DIAMETER MECHANICAL HANDLING POLISHED WAFERS – was published in Nov. 08 • Semi draft document 4624A: SPECIFICATION FOR DEVELOPMENTAL 450 mm DIAMETER POLISHED SINGLE CRYSTAL SILICON WAFERS – currently in voting process. – All wafer specifications agreed upon. – Discussions are still going on, on the right format for edge drawing presentation. 2 December 2009 19 19 ISMI Starting Materials Group • Objective: To establish the 450mm silicon wafers pipeline through: – Assessment of technical feasibility, supplier readiness, and implementation plans for silicon manufacturing and inspection infrastructure – SEMI 450mm silicon wafer standards generation – Validation of 450mm test wafer assumptions • Group activities include: – – – – Wafer specification and purchasing Wafer bank and loan program management Wafer inspection Wafer carriers and shippers evaluation 2 December 2009 20 450mm Wafer Bank Status 450mm Wafer Bank Loans 350 Number of Wafers 300 250 200 150 100 50 M ar -0 8 Ap r- 0 8 M ay -0 8 Ju n08 Ju l-0 8 Au g08 Se p08 O ct -0 8 No v08 De c08 Ja n09 Fe b09 M ar -0 9 Ap r- 0 9 M ay -0 9 Ju n09 Ju l-0 9 Au g09 Se p09 O ct -0 9 No v09 De c09 0 # of Sint Wafers # sc-SI Wafers # Wafers Loaned ~300 wafers, more than half single crystal are currently available for loans 2 December 2009 21 450mm Clean Shipping Methods 450mm HMAC (Horizontal Multi-Application Carrier) Same envelope as FOUP X Latch key door opening Same handling features as FOUP Z Y Key features to enable interoperability between shippers and FOUP 450mm HMACs delivered and testing begun at ISMI 2 December 2009 22 Additional ISMI Wafer Guidance ISMI Members’ Consensus n Wafer Edge Exclusion Target = 1.5mm n o 2 December 2009 o Wafer Orientation Feature = Notch 23 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. 2 December 2009 26 Accelerating Manufacturing Productivity Process and Metrology Equipment Readiness Tom Abell (Intel) TJ Lim (Samsung) Copyright ©2009 SEMATECH, Inc.
