Eccn: 3B991B2F

 

The Thin-Wafer Capability Package provides the ability to level and image 4,5,6 and 8-inch thin wafers and every thickness in the range of 150µm-1000µm. The package contains a customized wafer table, a vacuum reduction valve and additional SW-embedded functionality to enable a broad thickness range.

 

Installation of the package results in the following modifications of the standard system:

 

- Installation of the thicker wafer table.

 

The flatness specification for the customized wafer table is 0.2 micron on a 20x20mm square field with a 10mm edge exclusion zone using wafers with a standard Semi thickness. The pimple pitch for this wafer table has been reduced in order to limit the local sag between the pimples for extremely thin wafers hereby securing image and focus budget.

 

- A reduction valve is installed to set vacuum pressure from typically 0.6 bar to typically 0.4 bar

 

- The software key THICK_SUBSTRATES increases the range of thicknesses that can be handled when using a thicker wafer table from 150µm-600µm to150µm-1000µm.

 

Disclaimers

 

Wafer flatness in e-pins area may not be sufficient for critical CDs Support of 3-inch wafers with thickness in the range of 150µm-1000µm requires the commercial option known as “3-Inch Wafer Handling Capability” (9428.999.67050)

Item 04 9428.999.62100 PAS5500 SECS I and II INTERFACE UF

HT: 8523809000

CoO: NL

Eccn: 3D991

 

The SECS Interface allows communication between a fab host computer and PAS 5500 steppers/scanners or Stand-Alone Workstations. This production automation yields a wide range of important benefits, including reduced cycle times, lowered contamination, less operator involvement, and reduced rework due to human errors. The SECS process equipment communications link is the essential first step in factory automation. Equipment can be monitored with several parameters. For example, the host computer can automatically notify steppers/scanners of process anomalies and inhibit further processing steps. Also, process programs can be easily managed by the host and transferred to the steppers/scanners. In addition, the host can perform numerous remote control functions. ASML’s SECS Interface provides process control and flexibility that enables semiconductor manufacturers to improve productivity and enhance competitiveness in the decades ahead.

 

Item 05 9428.999.62490 IMAGE QUALITY CONTROL /1XX /2XX UF

HT: 9027500000

CoO: NL

Eccn: 3B991B2F

 

The main function of ASML’s image sensor and Image Quality ControlTM (IQC) software option is to enhance stepper productivity by minimizing time-consuming off-line performance measurements. The image sensor and IQC software are designed to support automatic Statistical Process Control (SPC) of PAS 5500 i-Line and Deep UV steppers.

 

The image sensor automatically verifies stepper focus and alignment performance by measuring the aerial image quality of grating patterns. The patterns are measured on the reticle scanned across image sensor grating artifacts mounted on the stage. By monitoring these aerial image properties, the image sensor can provide an automatic quick verification of focus and alignment performance relative to a calibrated reference state. These Image Sensor measurements can be displayed as trend data enabling the operator to make a quick visual analysis confirming stable stepper operation.

 

 

 

 

QUOTATION NUMBER 20066744
November 26, 2018  
PAGE 7 OF 18  

 

The image sensor measures three points of the image field simultaneously. It then provides output data verifying control of image tilt, magnification, translation, rotation, and focus. With the image sensor, the time required for a complete focus and alignment verification measurement is reduced to less than 60 seconds.

 

These automatic performance measurements can greatly improve stepper use for manufacturing by speeding up lithographic process control and minimizing stepper test time.

Item 06 9428.999.62630 FOCAL SOFTWARE UF

HT: 8523809000

CoO: NL

Eccn: 3D991

 

FOCAL (FOcus Calibration using the ALignment System of the Stepper) is an automatic focus measurement technique where focus offsets are transformed into apparent mark shifts, which can then be measured using the TTL Alignment System in the Stepper.

 

A special FOCAL Reticle containing specially designed alignment marks is required to perform this measurement. Part of each 8 µm line of which the mark is composed, is divided into smaller, so-called ‘chopped lines and spaces’ at the resolution limit of the stepper model. Under conditions of defocus these small lines will not be resolved and so the image of the specially designed alignment mark appears to be similar to the standard PM mark using only 8 µm lines and spaces. When in focus, the ‘chopped’ lines are resolved inducing an asymmetry in the alignment mark and a resultant shift in the aligned position.

 

 

 

 

QUOTATION NUMBER 20066744
November 26, 2018  
PAGE 8 OF 18  

 

Once calibrated the alignment shift can be used as a measure of focus offset to provide fast and accurate daily monitoring focus drift of the Stepper. This quick FOCAL test provides lens information on Astigmatism (AST) and Focal Plane Deviation (FPD).

 

Please note that this FOCAL option is not specified, nor is it designed for lens qualification purposes. It is designed for focus calibration only and can be used to monitor the lens status.

 

Specifications

 

The FOCAL software provides the capability Compute Focal Plane Adjustment Parameters. The parameters are computed from the data obtained from the FOCAL experiment. The system can be saved in an optimized state using the procedure Save System Optimized State using the computed parameters for best system performance.

 

The FOCAL test has certain constraints with respect to required exposure area. The FOCAL test can be performed using either 8-inch or 6-inch wafers.

 

Prerequisites

 

- FOCAL requires software release 6.2.3 or higher.

 

- A Software Package Upgrade can be ordered per site

 

- A Software Configuration Key is needed and can be ordered per stepper

 

- System must meet ATP specifications and relevant sub-system performance specifications prior to upgrade

 

General Upgrade Statement:

 

Buyer to ensure the system meets all prerequisites prior to the start of the upgrade including providing sufficient time to assess the system configuration and performance, and to perform all necessary work to meet the prerequisites. Procurement of services and parts, necessary to fulfil all prerequisites, is the responsibility of the Buyer.

 

Remark:

 

Any part removed from the Equipment as part of the Upgrade will be retained by the Seller.

Any unpaid balance of the purchase price shall thereupon become due, and the warranty period shall commence to start thirty (30) days after shipment.

 

10. ACCEPTANCE TEST. Prior to shipment, the Capital Equipment will be subjected to ASML’s standard factory-acceptance test at ASML’s factory (the “Factory Acceptance Test” or, alternatively, “FAT”). The FAT shall be performed in compliance with ASML’s then-current standard procedure and specifications (“Acceptance Test Procedure”, or, alternatively, “ATP”) as defined by ASML.

Upon delivery of such verification, ASML is authorized to proceed with shipment of the Capital Equipment. After onsite installation at CUSTOMER’s premises, the Capital Equipment will be subjected to ASML’s then standard onsite acceptance test (the “Site Acceptance Test” or, alternatively, “SAT”). CUSTOMER will be invited to attend the SAT. At such time as the Capital Equipment meets the SAT, the installation shall be deemed to be completed (the “Site Acceptance Date”, or, alternatively, “Final Acceptance Date”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms and Conditions, the Site Acceptance Date, or, alternatively, the Final Acceptance Date shall be the earlier of: (a) such time as the Capital Equipment meets the SAT, (b) such time CUSTOMER uses the Capital Equipment for any purpose, including production or R&D, prior to completion of the SAT, and (c) ninety (90) days from shipment if acceptance or use has been delayed through no fault of ASML. Any unpaid balance of the purchase price shall thereupon become due and payable within ten (10) days after the Final Acceptance Date, and the warranty period shall start from the Final Acceptance Date. Minor deviations from specifications or acceptance criteria, which do not affect CUSTOMER’s ability to use the Capital Equipment shall not be grounds for delayed acceptance, but shall be remedied under the terms of the applicable warranty.

 

11. CANCELLATION. CUSTOMER agrees that in the event of cancellation by CUSTOMER of the order or any part thereof prior to the scheduled shipment date, CUSTOMER shall pay ASML as liquidated damages, and not as penalty, a percentage of the price for such items cancelled as based on the following schedule:

* 30-59 days before scheduled shipment date 50% of the purchase price; * < 29 days before scheduled shipment date 60% of the purchase price.

 

This section shall not be deemed to create any right of cancellation in CUSTOMER and only reflects the parties agreement as to the fair and reasonable damages to which ASML shall be entitled in the event of cancellation by CUSTOMER taking into account relevant factors, including without limitation, the customized nature of the Equipment or the Software and the limited number of potential customers for the Equipment or the Software.

 

12. RETURNS. CUSTOMER shall have no right to return the Equipment or the Software or any part thereof, and no Equipment or the Software may be returned without ASML’s written consent, which may be withheld, in ASML’s sole discretion. ASML assumes no responsibility for unauthorized returns. All expenses for returned Equipment or the Software shall be borne by CUSTOMER.
