450mm Wafers Size Conversion. 450mm Wafer Conversion is at 2013. Background Wafer size changes are driven by productivity curve to continue Moore’s law. Need to move to 450mm may be accelerate or slow based on economic needs. Historically, wafer size changes are done every 9 years.

450mm Wafer Conversion is at 2013 • Background • Wafer size changes are driven by productivity curve to continue Moore’s law. Need to move to 450mm may be accelerate or slow based on economic needs. • Historically, wafer size changes are done every 9 years Single IDM Driven Single IDM Driven Consortia Driven (I300I/J300/etc) Consortia Driven (??I450I/J450??)

J300/I300I/ISMT/SELETE) will drive timing, methods, and standards • Basic research should start 2-3 years before this applied development • For a 2013 intercept, this means that development should start 2007 and research should start 2005 (2 major roadmap changes from now) • Industry will likely undergo major change from bulk CMOS technology to other device structures in 2010. • As a result, a wafer size change may not occur at the same timeframe ITRS Factory Integration TWG
