International Process Module Physical Interface TF TF under PIC

• Formation Date – SEMICON West 2011 (July)

• Charter – The TF is formed to discuss standardization of physical interface and other

interoperability related specification for the 450mm (vacuum) process modules and transfer module of the cluster tool.

• Scope – The TF will assess the industry needs and necessary extent for standardization

of physical interface and other interoperability related specification for the 450mm (vacuum) process modules and transfer module of the cluster tool.

– For the area that are agreed upon a need for standardization, the TF is expected to develop Standards that define physical interface and other interoperability related specification between the process chamber and the different modules (e.g. transfer module) of a cluster tool, which may be 450mm equivalent of or similar to E21.1 and E22.1 (So-called 300mm MESC Standards).

technology. The current SEMI Standard M49 defines up to 22nm technical generation and need to add next

generation technology of 16nm. The market already have consensus HVM of next generation will be started

within several years.

– Scope: • This revision includes all necessary parameter data to be applied to requirements of 16nm technical generation

• Title change to “GUIDE FOR SPECIFYING GEOMETRY MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS FOR SILICON WAFERS FOR THE 130

nm TO 16 nm”

• Add Level3 Variability, Matching Tolerance and Bias for 16nm technology generation in Table 4 also add 16nm Scaling models

in Table A!-2

• Change 200mm usage for 32nm and 22nm Technical generation at Table 4.1.1

• Change 450mm usage for 130nm, 90nm, 65nm and 45nm Technical generation at Table 3.1.3 and Table 4.1.3

• Add SEMI M80 in 3.1 SEMI Standards and Table 1-1.7 Type of Cassettes as references.

• Clean up erroneous items and add information at Reference Wafer Properties in table 3, 4 and 5.

• Revision to SEMI E83-1106, Specification for 300 mm PGV Mechanical Docking Flange with title change to: Specification for PGV Mechanical Docking Flange

– Rationale:

• Although ISMI Guidelines call for use of an E83 compliant PGV docking flange for 450mm, the actual E83 standard is titled “Specification for 300mm PGV mechanical docking flange”. There is a need to update to the standard both to align the standard with ISMI guidelines by making E83 valid for multiple wafer sizes and load port types.

– Scope: • Wording changes so that, per scope of the standard, the PGV flange described

in the standard can be used for both 300mm and 450mm wafer sizes. Include D16 dimensions as needed to specify the position of the flange for 450mm load ports (FOUP and tape frame). Scope does not include changes to the dimensions of the docking flange itself.

• Revision to SEMI E154-0612: Mechanical Interface Specification for 450mm Load Port – Rationale:

• MAC (E159) is the same specifications with respect to interoperability interfaces with 450 FOUP (E158). Therefore, we want to add the MAC term in the documentation of FOUP-LP (E154).

– Scope: • Add the description of the Mechanical Specification for Multi Application

Carrier (MAC) into sections 1 through 4. This scope is limited to inclusion of MAC to the document only and no other technical changes.

• New Standard: Specification for 450 mm Cluster Module Interface: Mechanical Interface and Transport Standard

– Rationale:

• Standardization of transport module/process module interface is beneficial for both process equipment supplier and users as it can shorten the period between chamber development stage and volume production tool qualification stage.

• The standard to be developed should ensure minimum necessary level of physical connectivity to the transport module part of a process tool for any process module without any significant design change when the process module is incorporated into the process tool.

– Scope: • The proposed document will be a Subordinate Standard to E21, and is expected to provide 450 mm

compatible values for all the parameters defined in SEMI E21.

• The proposed document covers tool/chamber physical interface and interoperability related specifications for the 450mm single wafer vacuum process tools.

• Wafer transport plane specifications

• Transport maximum reach

• Wafer + arm Clearance specifications at the interface plane

• Connectivity specifications at the interface plane

• Line item revisions to SEMI E156-0710, Mechanical Specification for 450 mm AMHS Stocker to Transport Interface – Rationale:

• Key definitions for the 450 mm standards are not aligned with one another

– Scope: • Revise SEMI E156 Acronyms to add KCP and Terminology to

change KC pin to KCP. Revise the definition for facial plane to agree with that in the other 450mm standards. The location of the FP is not changed by this revision. These changes align SEMI E156 with SEMI E159 and SEMI M80.
