G450C Test Wafers/
Operations
Wafer Availability
• Initial order for 6000 sc-Si (SEMI M76)
– Growing capability to meet 2013 need
• Initial order for 2000 cast wafers (SEMI M74)
– Provision for wafer handling needs
• Bring up additional supply in 2013
– > 15,000 wafers and progress to prime quality
(SEMI M1) needed next year
– Exploring engagement with multiple Suppliers
Establish roadmaps for cost / quality learning
13
Wafer Industry Support Model
• Suppliers providing tools for the program get access to
test wafers at significant discount to individual purchase
• Program expansion:
– Suppliers without tools in the program can also get
discounted cost if they return wafers and provide data
– Suppliers may take advantage of program volume
aggregation to procure wafers at consortium cost
• Wafer pool managed for budget, allocation to needs
• Pass on our costs beyond program capabilities for TWs
Adjust for wafer costs, reuse/regen, scrap rates, etc.
14
Wafer Cost Sharing
• To support 450mm development and maintain
Consortium budget, wafer cost will be shared with
industry
• G450C will be loaning wafers for a given duration, at a
shared cost (wafers available for purchase at 100% of
G450C cost)
• G450C cost share represents a considerable discount
from independent small volume purchases
• Factors for cost share will include usage/needs,
reuse/regen, wafer loan duration, scrap, etc.
• Test wafer process/metrology capability ‘Menu Card’
being developed for industry needs

Demonstration Test Methods
(DTM)
Equipment Performance Metrics (EPM)
• “1X nm Range” technology targeted for 2013-14 G450C
demonstrations – “ITRS 14 nm Nominal”
– Snapshot in continuum of technology progression
– Performance of 450 mm and 300 mm tools advances in lock-step
• Update Process (by end of 2012):
– Suppliers propose competitive performance at ‘14 nm” without
revealing sources of guidance or disclosing customer IP
– Consortium staff take best Supplier proposals for each tool type to
propose EPMs
– Consult with Suppliers for aligned output
– Validate EPMs meet Member Companies needs
• Implementation
– Ensure Demo test plans allow for full range of tool performance
– Report the data for each tool with comparison to Demo EPM

Demonstration Test Methods
(DTM) Overview
36
Demonstration Test Methods (DTM)
DTM Components
Duration
2-6 months
• Equipment Maturity Assessment (EMA) includes a couple of dozen parameters with clear categorization of
the tool characteristics based on defined criteria, as well as compliance with applicable standards; output
is a report recommending pre-test actions and testing levels
• Test planning is based on the tool maturity, goals for reliability, throughput of the tool and confidence
objectives, combining any Supplier pre-data with demo testing via Bayesian statistics
• Gauge Studies run for all metrology needed for the demo to ensure adequate Precision/Tolerance ratios
• Mechanical Dry Cycle (MDC) - nominally 5000 cycles of the wafer movement functions without process for
reliability and mechanical handling defect data
• Passive Data Collection (PDC) - a test of process stability on a baseline recipe for each application.
• Initial data is analyzed and a Baseline Characterization Report issued; decisions are made about
subsequent testing or reversion to tool development to address any hurdles
• Sensitivity Analysis - DOE optimization of the recipe(s) and RSM characterization of the process window(s)
• Marathon - 24/7 manufacturing simulation to capture tool productivity and reliability performance using
E10 states over a significant period, running process with sample testing to capture rates/variability,
defectivity and tool-specific performances like step coverage, gap fill, LER, etc..
• A final report is drafted, the Supplier has opportunity for comment, recommendations for tool
improvement are made and demo is completed with web publication
