`
`DESCRIPTION
`
`1/20/2014
`
`The YieldStar T-250D is a track-integrated metrology tool which allows measurement of on-product overlay and focus using
`diffraction based overlay (DBO) and diffraction based focus (DBF) techniques as well as the optional capability to measure
`ADI CD.
`
`KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS
`
`The YieldStar T-250D enables and supports the following applications:
`
`On-product overlay measurements for monitoring and APC (in conjunction with Overlay Optimizer), using 10x10 um
`and 16x16 um targets in-die (uDBO) or 30x60 um targets in scribelane (STOV)
`On-product focus measurements for monitoring and APC (in conjunction with Imaging Optimizer)
`On-product CD ADI measurement is an option for inline measurement of CD
`
`
`
`Increased Sampling
`YieldStar T-250D provides increased sampling compared to the T-200C, being 30% faster per uDBO measurement.
`
`Process Robustness
`Diffraction based techniques are, by design, more robust against process variations and marker damage on product wafers,
`especially at the edge of the wafer. This gives very precise on-product overlay and focus measurements per field needed to
`calculate more accurate corrections to be applied on the scanners.
`
`The T-250D has 30% better TMU compared to the T-200C which supports more precise measurements resulting in better
`corrections and better on-product overlay and focus performance of the scanner, supporting 2014-15 customer roadmaps.

`
`
`Device Matching
`The correlation of DBO measurements to real device overlay is better than that of IBO measurements which is of particular
`value at tighter on-product overlay requirements.
`
`No Cluster Downtime
`The YieldStar T-250D can be switched manually into by-pass mode in case of maintenance actions or automatically in the
`event of a system error. This ensures no disturbance of the litho cluster.
