ET LT Overview The EtchTemp Low Temperature (ET LT) Wafer User Manual is designed for the users with a need to know use of the ET LT Wafer system with the SensArray Tools (SAT) software. This manual is applicable for ET LT wafer only. ET LT wafers will only work with SensArray Tools version 2.8.12 above (Advanced Plasma Suites). This chapter provides the information about features of the ET LT Wafer System. 1.1 ET LT Wafer System ET LT Wafer is a complete measurement system embedded with the wafer to record thermal surveys in semiconductor processing equipment without the need for wired connections. Embedding the components within the wafer allows it to be treated like a production wafer in most equipment, as long as it is within the operating temperature range of the wafer. ET LT wafer system consists of an ET LT Wafer, an AM FOUP for communicating with and recharging the wafer, a magnet network cable, a laptop computer, and a CD/Pendrive containing the software and drivers required by the system. This system can acquire data from 1 to 65 analog channels, depending on the model. Measurements taken by the sensors are converted from analog to digital signals within the onboard electronics. 1.2 Acquiring Data Using the ET LT Wafer to acquire temperature data in your equipment is a simple process. Measurement parameters, such as sensors to be used, scan rate, time delay, etc., are set up using the Controller software. The wafer is then transferred to the measurement chamber from the AM FOUP via robotic arms, and thermal survey data is acquired. The data can be retrieved from the onboard memory through the AM FOUP, once the thermal survey is complete. 1.3 Analyzing Data The data acquired by the ET LT Wafer can be analyzed using the SensArray Tools. The SensArray Tools software enables you to maximize your fabs wafer yield by capturing real-time tool conditions and identifying the performance characteristics of chambers with the highest yields. You can modify other chambers to match those characteristics, as well as monitor the tools over time, to fine-tune performance. For more information on the use of the Analysis portion of SensArray Tools, please refer to the Identifying Data to be Analyzed Using a Template / Identifying Data to be Analyzed Using Control Limit. ET LT wafer performs computations on the acquired data, such as determining the minimum, maximum, mean, range (max-min), and standard deviation of all wafer sensor values for the sample, and logs the results in columns. These computed values are referred to as calculated values. After acquiring, linearizing, and storing the sensor data, you can display or print the data as a line plot graph. In addition, you can display data in a table or as a wafer map (Refer to 5.5Acquiring Data Using the Manual Mission). 9 Restricted Distribution KLA Confidential SensArray ET LT Wafer User Manual 2. System Setup Before you begin working with the ET LT Wafer system, you need to unpack the system components, prepare the equipment for transfer to the Cleanroom, and charge the wafer batteries. 2.1 Before You Begin There are safety and handling procedures that should be followed. Please read the Cautions and Wafer Handlings provided in this manual and become familiar with the ET LT Wafer before attempting your first thermal survey. Operating the ET LT wafer outside of its specified temperature range could result in unreliable readings and/or damage to the wafer. The recommended operating temperature for the ET LT wafer is 20 C to 140 C. Rotational speeds up to 5000 rpm have been tested and found to be safe. While it is possible that even higher rotational speed might be reached without damage to the wafer or spin plate, SensArray cannot provide any guarantee above 5000 rpm. 2.2 Wafer Handling Procedures ET LT Wafer is designed to survive in a semiconductor fabrication environment, care must be taken to prevent damage to the components on the wafer. Wear hand-gloves whenever you handle the wafer. Hold the wafer by the edges only or support from the backside of the wafer with your hand or with a vacuum wand. In some situations, you may have to grasp the edge of the wafer with your gloved fingers to prevent dropping the wafer, as when you try to insert the wafer into your equipment or AM FOUP. 2.3 Unpacking the System Inventory all items and compare them to the packing list included with the shipment. Retain all packaging materials for the system. This is required for the return of the ET LT Wafer for repairs. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact KLA SensArray division immediately. Be prepared to provide a list of the missing and/or damaged components, the Purchase Order Number, and the SensArray Sales Order Number. Note: Do not return the components without contacting KLA SensArray division and obtaining a Return Material Authorization. You must pack the equipment in the original packing material when returning to KLA SensArray division. Failure to properly pack the components may result in additional damage to the equipment. 10 Restricted Distribution KLA Confidential SensArray ET LT Wafer User Manual 2.4 Verifying Wafer Integrity Make sure the storage case is completely closed. Place the storage case right side up (electronic module on top) on a clean working surface. On the front of the electronic module, locate the red test button
(labeled as TEST) as shown in Figure 2-1. Push the Test Button to activate the system electronics and communication. Figure 2-1 Test button and wafer indicator LEDs Upon pushing the red test button, the LCD Display on top of the Electronic Module displays the following messages:
VER Storage Case FW (Firmware) version WAFER LOCATED when a viable wafer has been found. WAFER S/N indicates the serial number of the wafer inside the storage case. WAFER BATT VOLTAGE Indicates the current wafer battery voltage. WAFER GOOD indicates the completely functioning system. The LEDs will flash to indicate the following conditions:
Flashing Blue LED indicates that the storage case received a communication packet from the wafer. Flashing Red LED indicates that the storage case is performing maintenance charging of the wafers battery. 2.5 Removing the Wafer from the Storage Case The wafer storage case is designed to keep the ET LT Wafer batteries charged to the optimum level for an extended period of 1 to 2 years. It is mandatory to check the status of the batteries and to recharge the batteries when their voltage drops below a threshold. The storage case is not designed to be used to recharge wafers after acquiring data. The storage case may not be used as a carrier station. It is used only to store the wafer when the wafer is not in use. The wafer should be kept in the storage case until it is needed. 11 Restricted Distribution KLA Confidential SensArray ET LT Wafer User Manual 1. Place the horizontal wafer Storage case right side up (electronic module on top) on a clean work surface. 2. To open the storage case lid, place both thumbs on the snap rings on the lid as shown in Figure 2-2. 3. Grab the Left and Right Tabs with your pointer fingers and lift the lid completely. 4. Carefully open the lid of the storage case. 5. Carefully lift the wafer from the storage case. To replace the wafer into the storage case, follow steps 1 to 3 above to open the storage case. Then carefully place the wafer into the storage case base and close the lid. Before closing the lid, check very carefully that the wafer is correctly placed within the storage case base. Closing the lid while the wafer is positioned incorrectly can break the wafer. Figure 2-2 Opening the storage case (Top view) Figure 2-3 Opening of storage case lid for wafer removal To check the wafer health using the storage case, make sure the storage case is completely closed. If the LCD Display on top of the Electronic Module displays WAFER GOOD, it indicates the ET LT wafer is healthy. If the wafer is not healthy, the screen will indicate NO WAFER LOCATED. If the wafer is present and the module is unable to detect the wafer, place the wafer inside the AM FOUP to check the wafer status. If the wafer looks healthy in AM FOUP, then the storage case may have malfunctioned. Contact KLA SensArray division for technical support. 2.6 Charging the Wafer Before Use Place the ET LT Wafer into the AM FOUP shipped with the unit to maintain the charge on the internal batteries. Plug the laptop into the AC power supply and fully charge the laptop battery. 2.7 Setting up the Software The ET LT Wafer system normally includes a SensArray qualified laptop that has been installed with all the necessary software to set up, run, and retrieve data from the ET LT Wafer. Note: The ET LT wafer will only work with SensArray Tools v2.8.12 and above. 12 Restricted Distribution KLA Confidential SensArray ET LT Wafer User Manual 3. Preparing Equipment for the Cleanroom 3.1 Cleaning the Equipment It is mandatory to follow the industry standards when installing a computer and ET LT Wafer system in the Cleanroom, and wipe down the computer, exterior of the storage case, ET LT wafer, and AM FOUP with Cleanroom wipes dampened with de-ionized (DI) water and/or isopropyl alcohol. 3.2 Cleaning the ET LT Wafer Significant efforts are made to keep the wafer clean during the manufacturing process. Due to the nature of some processes and demands by customers for cleaner wafers, the ET LT wafer is offered as a cleaned product. It has gone through an SC1 and SC2 cleaning process to remove metals and organics. The cleaned wafer is packed in a clean single polycarbonate storage case until it can be used. Despite our best efforts, the ET LT Wafer may pick up contaminants from repeated handling. The ideal method of cleaning surface contaminants from the wafer is to blow a gentle stream of Clean Dry Air (CDA) or inert nitrogen across the surface. However, some forms of surface contamination cannot be removed this easily. The wafer can be cleaned with Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) (isopropanol/rubbing alcohol) or DI water and a cleanroom cloth. Due to the design nature of the ET LT Wafer, scratches in the coating on the backside of the wafer may exist. This has not been shown to cause degradation in the performance of the wafer. A gentle stream of DI water or IPA may be used to loosen surface contamination, and then use CDA or inert nitrogen to blow the surface to dry. Never place the wafer in an ultrasonic cleaning bath. The vibration set up by the ultrasonic may damage the electronics inside and render the wafer inoperable. Note: After a period of usage under etch environment, there will be a deposited polymer ring at the bottom surface of the wafer, this may cause the chucking problem or temperature range is not in specification. Please refer to the application note for the cleaning details for this polymer ring. 3.3 Cleaning the AM FOUP The AM FOUP can be easily cleaned by wipe down the surfaces with a cleanroom cloth dampened with IPA. No pressure is needed to remove contamination from the surface. Be sure to clean the interior of the AM FOUP. To avoid damage to the ET LT Wafer, clean the interior of the AM FOUP only when the wafer is not present. 3.4 Recharging and Storing ET LT Wafer The AM FOUP includes removable and rechargeable lithium-ion batteries and the batteries should maintain a charge on the wafer batteries for up to three years. The AM FOUP batteries can be charged via the network cable through the power adapter provided. Keep the wafer inside the AM FOUP when not making thermal surveys. This will help ensure the maximum lifetime for the onboard wafer batteries. 13 Restricted Distribution KLA Confidential SensArray ET LT Wafer User Manual 4. KLA AM FOUP 4.1 KLA AM FOUP Function The KLA AM FOUP transports the instrumented wafer to the equipment during missions. It interfaces between SensArray Tools and SA wafers.

Advanced Data Analysis 6.1 Identifying Data to be Analyzed Using a Template A template defines the regions of interest within a mission run using a specific recipe. It also defines the important statistics for each region (such as mean, range, and standard deviation). Templates are an important part of SAT analysis modules because they are used to extract key information from the raw data. This section is a guide to the template creation process. The process of identifying data to be analyzed using a template, is comprised of the following steps:
Step 1 - Create a Template Step 2 - Define the Intervals of Interest for this Recipe Step 3 - Define the Parameters Step 1 - Create a Template 1. Click Create a Template on the SAT launcher UI. You can see the Create a Template window opens, as shown in Figure 6-1. Note: The Available Templates list will empty, and no graph data is displayed, if this is the first time the utility is started. Figure 6-1 Templates - Available Templates window 2. Click Add New option to start creating a template, -or- click the Copy Selected Template option to copy an existing template. The Mission Selection window opens, as shown in Figure 6-2. It allows a choice of reference mission, which should be a good representative of mission data collected using the recipe of interest. 35 Restricted Distribution KLA Confidential SensArray ET LT Wafer User Manual Figure 6-2 Mission Selection Window 3. You can filter the missions by Recipe, Fab, DataSet, Wafer ID, Date, Included Missions, Data Type, Notes, or Diameter, to limit the number of missions from which to select. Note: More than one mission can be selected for this step, to ensure that the program is able to properly analyze other missions from the same recipe. 4. Drag the selected mission to the Selected Mission list. TIP: It is not necessary to drag the mission to the Selected Missions window when selecting a single mission. Instead, select the mission to be analyzed, then click the OK button. 5. Click the Next> button after a reference mission is selected. The Templates Interval Definition window opens, as shown in Figure 6-3. Proceed to Step 2 - Define the Intervals of Interest for this Recipe. Step 2 - Define the Intervals of Interest for this Recipe The intervals of interest are periods of time within the data that contain interesting information. Typically, these are the steady-state portions of the graph, where the data is not significantly rising nor falling. 1. Click the Add button to add an interval(s). An interval defines the mission subset to be analyzed. TIP: To edit the interval start and end time, change the values in the Intervals table or on the graph. To change the values on the graph, click an interval (bordered in orange) to select it. Then press and hold the <CTRL> key while dragging a portion of the interval. Drag the beginning part of the interval to alter the start time. Drag the end of an interval to change the end time. To move the entire interval, drag the middle of the interval. 36 Restricted Distribution KLA Confidential SensArray ET LT Wafer User Manual Figure 6-3 Templates - Interval Definition Window 2. Click the Preview button to see whether the intervals created are correctly matched in other missions. The preview graphs in the lower-right sector updates with the matching intervals. 3.

Proceed to Step 3 - Define the Parameters. Step 3 - Define the Parameters The final step in creating a template involves defining the values to be extracted from the data inside each defined interval. For example, during the plasma etch step, it may be important to measure the average wafer temperature and cross-wafer range. During this step, these extracted parameters are specified, and the template is named. In addition, these statistics can be extracted from a subset of the sensors, to extract regional information. For example, it may be interesting to extract the mean temperature at the edge of the wafer only, in addition to the entire cross-wafer average. 1. Click the Add New Parameter button to add a parameter. A new row appears in the Interval Parameters panel with a drop-down list for columns Interval, Statistic, and Sensor Pattern, as shown in Figure 6-4. 37 Restricted Distribution KLA Confidential SensArray ET LT Wafer User Manual Figure 6-4 Templates - Parameter Definition window 2. Select the Interval to which the parameter applies. 3. Select the Statistic to calculate for the interval (the available statistic options are Mean, 3Sigma, Max, Min, Range, Median, MaxAverage, and MinAverage). 4. Select the Sensor pattern, to select the sensors to use in the calculations (the available options are All, None, Outer Ring, Inner Disc, Mask Edge, and New Pattern). By default, all sensors on the wafer are used. Note: When a sensor pattern is selected, a Sensor Pattern window opens. It is possible to edit the selected sensor pattern characteristics or load a different pattern to edit. 5. Enter the Template Name as required (on the lower-right of the window), and then click Finish button to save the template. 6. A dialog box opens to confirm template creation. Click Yes button to confirm. 7. You can see the Template Wizard window opens once the template is created. 8. Do the Step 1 - Create a Template, Step 2 - Define the Intervals of Interest for this Recipe, and Step 3 - Define the Parameters to create more templates. 6.2 Identifying Data to be Analyzed Using Control Limit The Control Limit allows limits to be associated with a template, to indicate the expected values for the calculated statistics. For example, if a recipe template calculates the mean of a steady-state period, the Control Limit for that template would specify the minimum, maximum, and average values expected for that mean. The process of identifying data to be analyzed using the Control Limit, is comprised of the following steps:
Step 1 - Create a Control Limit Step 2 - Create a DataSet Step 3 - Verify and Complete the Control Limit 38 Restricted Distribution KLA Confidential SensArray ET LT Wafer User Manual Step 1 - Create a Control Limit 1.
