Chapter-1 Overview
The EtchTemp Wafer User Manual is designed to document the setup and use of the ET
Wafer system in conjunction with the SensArray Tool. This manual is applicable for ET wafer
only. This ET wafer will only work with SensArray Tool (Plasma Suites)
This chapter discusses the features of the EtchTemp Wafer System.
The EtchTemp Wafer System
The ET Wafer has a complete measurement system embedded in 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.
The ET wafer system consists of an EtchTemp Wafer, a carrier station/FOUP for
communicating with and recharging the wafer, a USB cable, a laptop computer, and a CD
containing the software and drivers needed by the system.
The systems can acquire data from 1 to 64 analog channels, depending on the model. The
analog channels are divided into banks. Each bank is made up of up to 8 wafer sensors.
Measurements taken by the sensors are converted from analog to digital signals within the
onboard electronics.
Acquiring Data
Utilizing the EtchTemp 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 a FOUP or cassette via robotic arms, and the thermal measurement survey
data is acquired. After the survey is complete, the data can be retrieved from the onboard
memory through the RF FOUP or carrier station. The data may then be analyzed using
SensArray Tool (Plasma Suites)
Analyzing Data
The data files acquired by the EtchTemp Wafer may be analyzed using SensArray tool. The
SensArray Tools software enables users to maximize their fab’s wafer yield, by capturing
real-time tool or track conditions, and identifying the performance characteristics of
chambers or plates with the highest yields. Users can then modify other chambers or plates
to match those characteristics, as well as monitor tools or tracks over time, to fine-tune
performance.
For more information on the use of the Analysis portion of the SensArray Tools, please refer
to the SensArray Tools (Plasma Suites) Manual.

During acquisition, EtchTemp wafer performs computations on 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, as shown in Figure 1-3. In addition, you can display data in a table or as a
wafer map.

Chapter-2 System Setup
Before you can begin working with the EtchTemp Wafer system, you need to unpack the
system components, prepare the equipment for transfer to the Cleanroom, and charge the
wafer batteries.
Before You Begin
Before using the EtchTemp Wafer, there are several safety and handling precautions that
should be noted. Please read the information provided in this manual and become familiar
with the EtchTemp Wafer before attempting your first thermal survey.
• Operation of EtchTemp outside of its specified temperature range could result in
unreliable readings and/or damaged wafers. Please review the recommended
operating range for your particular model of EtchTemp Wafer.
• 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 guarantees above 5000 rpm.
Proper Wafer Handling Procedures:
While the EtchTemp Wafer is designed to survive in a semiconductor fabrication
environment, reasonable care must be taken to prevent damage to the components on the
wafer, or breaking the wafer.
• Always wear 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 a carrier station.
• Never place the wafer on an uneven surface. A small downward pressure on the
wafer applied at the right point could cause the wafer to break or cause cracks within
the silicon.
Unpacking Your System
Inventory all items and compare to the packing list included with the shipment.
Retain all packaging materials for the system. This is required for the return of the EtchTemp
Wafer for repairs or recalibration.
If any parts are missing or damaged, contact SensArray 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 components without contacting SensArray first and obtaining a Return Material
Authorization. When returning components to SensArray, you must repack the equipment in the original
packing material. Failure to properly pack the components may result in additional damage to the equipment.

System Setup
Removing the Wafer from the Storage Case:
The wafer storage case is designed to keep the EtchTemp Wafer batteries charged to the
optimum level for an extended period of 1 to 2 years. This is done by periodically checking
the status of the batteries and recharging the batteries when their voltage drops below a
threshold.
CAUTION: 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 a wafer when the wafer is
not in use.
The wafer will be maintained in the storage case until it is needed. To use the wafer, place
the horizontal wafer Storage case right side up (electronic is at the bottom) on a clean work
surface, as shown in Figure 2-1. To open the lid, place both thumbs on the rings on the lid
as shown, lift both of your pointer fingers and open the lid completely. Locate the Charge
and Communication (C/C) Carrier Station or RF FOUP near the storage case.

Figure 2-1 Opening the Storage Case
For checking the wafer health using the storage case, make sure the storage case is
completely closed. Flip the storage with the bottom side facing up as shown below. At the
bottom of the storage case, there is an LCD screen that indicates the wafer serial number
and battery voltage. If the wafer is not viable, the screen will indicate ‘no wafer present’. The
storage case must be reset to force it to search for a wafer by pressing the reset button. The
module will then spend approximately 15 seconds looking for a wafer in its presence. If a
wafer is present and the module is unable to detect the wafer, try to place the wafer in the
carrier station to check the wafer state. If wafer looks healthy in the carrier, the storage case
may be problematic. Contact SensArray technical support for help.

Charging the Equipment Before Use:
Place the EtchTemp Wafer into the carrier station shipped with the unit to maintain the
charge on the internal batteries. Please see Using the Charge and Communication
Carrier Station for more information on inserting and removing the wafer to and from the
carrier stations.
Plug the laptop into the AC power supply and fully charge the laptop battery.
Setting up the Software
The EtchTemp Wafer system normally includes a SensArray qualified laptop computer that
has been prepared with all needed software to setup, run, and retrieve data from the
EtchTemp Wafer. Note that, EtchTemp wafer will only work with SensArray Tool 2.1 and
above
Preparing Equipment for the Cleanroom
Cleaning the Equipment:
When installing a computer and an EtchTemp Wafer system in the Cleanroom, follow
industry standards, including wiping down the computer and the exterior of the carrier
station with Cleanroom wipes dampened with de-ionized (DI) water and/or isopropyl alcohol.
Wipe down the EtchTemp Wafer itself.
Cleaning the EtchTemp Wafer:
Significant efforts are made to keep wafers clean during the manufacturing process. Due to
the nature of some processes and demands by customers for cleaner wafers, the EtchTemp
wafer is now offered as a cleaned product. It has gone through a SC1 and SC2 cleaning
process to remove metals and organics. The cleaned wafer is packaged in the clean single
polycarbonate storage case until it can be used.
Despite our best efforts, the EtchTemp 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 CDA or inert nitrogen across the surface. However, some forms of surface
contamination cannot be removed this easily.
The wafer can be cleaned with IPA or DI water and a cleanroom cloth. Due to the design
nature of the EtchTemp 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 dry.
Never place the wafer in an ultrasonic cleaning bath. The vibration set up by the ultrasonics
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 application note for the cleaning
details for this polymer ring.

System Setup
Cleaning the Carrier Station:
The carrier station is easily cleaned by wiping the surfaces with a cleanroom cloth
dampened with IPA. Nothing harsher is needed to remove contamination from the surface.
Be sure to clean the interior of the carrier station. Debris on the surface may cause stress
points on the EtchTemp Wafer when the lid is closed. To avoid damage to the EtchTemp
Wafer, only clean the interior of the carrier when the wafer is not present.
Recharging and Storing EtchTemp Wafer:
The carrier station contains removable, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. The carrier
station batteries should maintain a charge on the wafer batteries for up to three years. The
carrier station batteries can be charged via USB or with the provided power adapter.
VERY IMPORTANT! Keep the wafer stored in a carrier station when not making thermal surveys.
This will help ensure the maximum lifetime for the onboard wafer batteries.
When storing the wafer in the carrier for extended periods of time, confirm that the LCD
display reads “Wafer Ready”. This indicates that the carrier station has established proper
contact with the wafer and ensures that the wafer battery charge is being maintained.

Chapter-3 Using the Charge & Communication
Carrier Station/RF FOUP
The Carrier Station/RF FOUP provides a method of charging and communicating with the
wafer through an RF signal rather than a set of contact pins.
EtchTemp wafer will only work with SensArray Tool 2.1 and above.
Using the Carrier Station
Before using the carrier station with EtchTemp Wafer, make sure the carrier firmware
version is compatible. Carrier firmware version needs to be 2.1.90 or above.
Please refer to the attached firmware upgrade document for further details.
The carrier station protects the Wafer and maintains the battery charge during storage. It
also provides the communication link between the Wafer and the host computer.
The carrier station provides an easy, non-contact means of preparing the wafer for data
acquisition and to perform data retrieval. It is important to follow proper procedures in
removing and inserting the wafer in the carrier station to avoid damaging the wafer.

Figure 3-2 shows the C/C carrier station with USB port plug in. There are four LEDs on the
left side of the carrier base, as referenced in Table 3-1. The green LED comes on when the
USB cable is connected and there is communication between the host computer and the
carrier station. The yellow LED will flicker when transferring data to and from the wafer. The
red LED is on when the batteries are charging. When the red LED is flashing rapidly and
solid, the unit is actively charging the batteries on the Wafer. It should typically take less
than 10 minutes to fully charge the batteries. If it is flashing slowly, the battery charge is
being maintained. Though the carrier will continue to maintain the batteries on the wafer, the
red LED will flicker every 10 to 20 seconds when the USB cable is not connected to a power
source. The blue LED blinks when a wafer is detected and communicating with the carrier.

Removing the Wafer from the Carrier Station
While the Lid is opened, you can slide the wafer off the carrier plastic insert surface. A
groove is provided on the right-hand side of the carrier station surface to allow you to get
your finger below the side of the wafer as shown in Figure 3-9. Slide the wafer to the left
until there is enough of the wafer free of the carrier plastic insert surface to put your other
hand or a vacuum wand under the wafer. Remove the wafer completely. Do not pull the
wafer too quickly off the plastic insert surface. Static attraction between the bottom of the
wafer and the plastic insert surface may place undue stress on the Wafer and result in
breakage.

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 SensArray Tools 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:
ƒ Step 1 - Create a Template
ƒ Step 2 - Define the Intervals of Interest for this Recipe
ƒ Step 3 - Define the Parameters
Step 1 - Create a Template
To create a template
1. Start the Create a Template module from the PlasmaSuite window. The Templates -
Available Templates window opens.
NOTE: If this is the first time the utility is started, the Available Templates list is empty,
and no graph data is displayed.
Figure 4-16 Templates - Available Templates window
2. Click the Add New Template button to start the Template Wizard to create a
template, -or- the Copy Selected Template button to copy an existing template. The
Mission Selection window opens. This allows a choice of reference mission, which
should be a good representative of mission data collected using the recipe of interest.

3. 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 missions to the Selected Missions list.
TIP: When selecting a single mission using the Mission Selector window, it is not
necessary to drag the mission to the Selected Missions list. Instead, select the
mission to be analyzed, then click the OK button.
5. After all missions are selected, click the Next > button. The Templates – Interval
Definition window opens.
Proceed to Step 2 - Define the Intervals of Interest for this Recipe.
Step 2 - Define the Intervals of Interest for this Recipe
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.
To define recipe template intervals of interest:
1. Select which mission to list as the reference mission in the Selected Missions
box. If there are no missions in the list that represent the needed data, return to Step 1
- Create a Template.
NOTE: When selecting the reference mission, start with a well-functioning chamber or track
that has missions running the same recipe or flow. Identify, as the reference mission,
the template that most or all the selected missions match. To do this, select each
mission, in turn, as the reference mission, then compare the results by clicking the
Preview button.

to select it. Then press and hold the  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.
3. 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.
4. To remove an interval, select the interval to be removed, then click the Remove
Selected button.
5. If the selected intervals are satisfactory, click the Next > button. The Templates -
Parameter Definition window opens.
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 a 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.

PlasmaRX
The PlasmaRx module allows the user to model fab chamber behavior. The generated model
displays the effect that modifying different equipment parameters has on the measured wafer
data. For example, PlasmaRx can be used to show the temperature rise (at all points on the
wafer) of an increase in source power. Models can then be compared (tool-to-tool, or day-to-day)
to determine whether tools are performing optimally, and to help pinpoint problem components.

Match Analyzer
The Match Analyzer module allows the user to compare two or more chambers running the
same recipe. The data provided from this module allows the user to easily identify chambers
that have fallen out of spec. Match Analyzer requires a template for the recipe to be analyzed.
If an appropriate template is not available, refer to the Identifying Data to Be Analyzed Using a
Template - Step 1 - Create a Template section.
Profile Comparison
The Profile Comparison module simultaneously displays line graphs and 2-D surface plots
for two or more missions. Profile comparison requires a template for the recipe to be analyzed.
If an appropriate template is not available, refer to the Identifying Data to Be Analyzed Using a
Template - Step 1 - Create a Template section.
AutoCal - Temperature Optimization
The AutoCal module accurately measures, monitors, and calibrates the thermal dose in
the post-exposure bake (PEB) step of the lithography process. Ensuring uniform
temperature control across the wafer results in significant improvement in critical
dimension (CD) uniformity, thereby increasing wafer yield.
AutoCal includes Create Track and Create Litho Flow Wizards, to aid in setting up the
lithography fab.
See OnWafer Technologies, AutoCal 2.0, user documentation for further details.
AutoCD - Critical Dimension Optimization
Critical dimension measures transistor gate sizes on the wafer. The more uniform the
gate size, the higher the total wafer yield. The object is to counteract non-uniformity
resulting from previous production steps. In this case, it may not be a uniform
temperature across the wafer that maximizes the critical dimension, but a different
temperature on different parts of the wafer in subsequent production steps.
AutoCD automatically tunes the post-exposure bakeplate settings, to achieve the
desired critical dimension results on the wafer.

Importing Files and Data
A data tag is a set of metadata for a mission. This metadata includes the name of the person who
collected the data, the chamber and recipe upon which the mission was run, the date the mission
was run, and notes. The information for the metadata tags was input during Fab Configuration.
The Data Importing and Tagging module is used to import legacy data formats, and modify
existing data tags. Legacy data is saved to the SensArray Tools database and a data tag is
created for each file imported.
Legacy formats currently include OnWafer data files (WFR), SensArray Excel files (XLS, TXT),
and AE Pilot wafer data (CSV).
NOTE: Use files with the proper file extension (such as, CSV, TXT, WFR, XLS), in a location

designates the license as a WAN license in a duly signed license, in which case Customer may install and use copies of the client portion of the Software
at any location worldwide) in accordance with one of the following options:
(i) Floating Licenses. If K-T specifically describes a license for Server Software in writing as a “floating license” or “concurrent use license,”
Customer may install, upload, copy, keep, view, and use the client portion of such Software on a reasonable number of individual workstations on the
condition that no more than the maximum number of concurrent Authorized Users specified by K-T may use the client or server portion of the Software at
any one time. If K-T does not specify in writing a different maximum number of Authorized-Users for a floating license, the maximum number of concurrent
Authorized-Users shall be one (1).
(ii) Node-Locked Licenses. Unless K-T specifically describes in writing a license for Server Software as a “floating license” or “concurrent use
license,” Customer may install, upload, copy, keep, view, and use the client portion of such Software only on one (1) workstation per authorized node. All
activities related to the operation of the Software must be performed on the same workstation. The maximum number of authorized nodes shall be one (1),
unless K-T specifies another number in writing.
3.2.4
Time Limit. If K-T specifies that a license is limited in time or duration, such license automatically shall expire on the specified date or if no date is
specified, on the one (1) year anniversary of the applicable Delivery Date.
3.2.5
Copies. Except as expressly specified herein or agreed otherwise in writing, Customer may duplicate each item of Software that K-T delivers only
by (i) permanently installing one (1) copy on a computer (provided that Customer keeps the original copy that K-T delivered only as a back-up copy,
separately from any actively used Software; keeps records of such original copies indicating the location of its storage; and provides such records to K-T
upon request), and (ii) temporarily uploading such copy of the Software into the working memory of the computer on which it has been installed to the
extent necessary for using the Software in accordance with the applicable Documentation and License Parameters. Customer may not create any other
copies of the Software, unless K-T expressly permits additional copies in writing (for example, without limitation, by invoicing Customer for ten (10) NodeLocked Licenses (refer to Subsection 3.2.3(ii) – Node-Locked Licenses) with respect to an item of Software of which K-T delivers only one (1) copy on a
disk).
3.3 License Key Management. K-T may, at its sole discretion, use or combine license management programs with any Software, which automatically monitor and
enforce license restrictions and limitations, provided that such precautions shall not relieve Customer of its primary responsibility to ensure compliance with these
Standalone Software License Terms. Customer expressly agrees to be fully responsible for compliance by all Authorized Users with these Standalone Software
License Terms, to take all actions reasonably requested by K-T to protect the rights of K-T in the Software and Documentation, and to indemnify and hold K-T harmless
against any loss resulting from a breach of these Standalone Software License Terms by any Authorized User or any individual or entity that Customer caused, enabled
or allowed to use the Software in any manner not authorized under these Standalone Software License Terms.
3.4 Documentation. K-T grants Customer a non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to use the printed versions of the Documentation that
K-T provides for Customer’s internal business purposes solely in support of Customer’s use of the Software in accordance with these Standalone Software License
Terms.
3.5 Proprietary Notices. Customer shall not remove any product identification, trademark, copyright or other notices from the Software and Documentation and shall
display K-T’s and its licensors’ names and logos as well as the name of the Software on each copy of the Software and Documentation made by Customer.
3.6 License Restrictions. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Customer agrees not to (i) create any derivative works based on the Software or Documentation
or modify or alter the Software or Documentation in any manner whatsoever; (ii) sell, sublicense, lease, rent, loan, assign, convey or otherwise transfer the Software or
Documentation to any third parties; (iii) copy or use the Software or Documentation for any purpose or in any manner not expressly permitted in these Standalone
Software License Terms; (iv) use the Software outside the permitted scope of the License Parameters; (v) use the Software or Documentation, in any format, through
any timesharing service, service bureau, network or by any other means, for or in the interest of any third party other than by Authorized Users; or (vi) permit or
encourage any third party to do any of the foregoing. Customer shall cooperate with K-T, and shall render all reasonable assistance requested by K-T, to assist K-T in
preventing and identifying any use of, or access to, the Software and Documentation, by Authorized Users or otherwise, in violation of these Standalone Software
License Terms.
3.7 Third Party Products. To the extent that Customer acquires from K-T any Third Party Products that are accompanied by end-user license terms and/or other
terms (in shrink-wrap, click-through or other format) (“Third Party Terms”) (i) Customer shall agree to such terms vis-à-vis the licensor specified in the Third Party
Terms; (ii) to the extent such Third Party Terms conflict with Section 3.1 (License Grant) through 3.6 (License Restrictions), the Third Party Terms shall take
precedence with respect to such Third Party Products; and (iii) Customer’s right to use the Third Party Product will be defined and restricted in the accompanying Third
Party Terms.
4. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. KLA-Tencor Technologies Corporation owns, retains, and reserves ownership, title, and all rights and interest, including, but not limited
to, all Proprietary Rights in and to the Software and Documentation, subject only to the limited rights that K-T expressly grants in these Standalone Software License
Terms. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer acknowledges that nothing herein shall constitute a sale of any Software or Documentation (or any Intellectual Property
in and to Software and Documentation), including any copies and portions thereof.
5. TRANSFERS AND OTHER ACTIONS UNDER MANDATORY LAW. If Customer sells or otherwise transfers to a third party any hardware or media in which any
Software is embedded or otherwise contained, Customer shall remove or delete all such Software prior to the transfer, unless K-T confirms in writing that the transferee
has entered into a license agreement with K-T for such Software and has paid the applicable license fees. To the extent that Customer is expressly permitted by
applicable mandatory law to transfer the Software to a third party, or copy, or use the Software in any manner not expressly authorized under these Standalone
Software License Terms, Customer agrees to refrain from exercising such rights unless and until Customer has given K-T three (3) weeks’ prior written notice of
Customer’s intent to exercise any such rights and K-T has not offered reasonable alternatives to Customer’s exercise of the mandatory rights within such three (3)
week period.

7.
LIMITED WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMERS
7.1 Limited Warranty. K-T warrants that on the Delivery Date, the Software substantially conforms to the specifications in the applicable
Documentation, subject to the limitations and exclusions in Subsections 7.1.1 (Excluded Causes) through 7.1.5 (No Third Party Rights).
7.1.1
Excluded Causes. Customer has no warranty rights with respect to defects or non-conformities caused by (i) use of the Software with hardware
or software that was not expressly specified in writing by K-T as suited for use with the Software; (ii) Customer’s failure to follow K-T’s operating
instructions; (iii) failure to implement all updates, upgrades, and other new releases of Software made available to Customer; (iv) changes to the Customer
environment, in which Software was provided; (v) acts or omissions of persons other than K-T or its authorized representatives; (vi) installation or
maintenance of Software by someone other than K-T or persons certified by K-T; (vii) abuse, use at an unsafe or not suitable site, unusual physical or
electrical stress; (viii) any relocation of Software without, or not in accordance with, a prior written authorization by K-T, or (ix) Force Majeure conditions, as
defined K-T’s General Terms.
7.1.2
Modifications. Customer has no warranty rights with regard to any Software (i) that has been modified by someone other than K-T, unless such
modifications were directed or approved by K-T in writing and made in conformance with all specifications and instructions provided in such writing; or (ii)
that K-T modified in accordance with Customer’s request, specifications, or instructions, unless K-T agrees in a duly signed writing that the modified
Software shall be covered by the limited warranty specified in Section 7.1 (Limited Warranty).
7.1.3
No Warranties for Updates. K-T does not extend any warranties under these Standalone Software License Terms for any updates that K-T may
provide under K-T’s Software Maintenance Terms. Any warranties for any updates are exclusively and finally provided for under K-T’s Software
Maintenance Terms.
7.1.4
No Warranty for Third Party Products. K-T does not extend any warranties and K-T disclaims all responsibilities for Third Party Products. If a
manufacturer or supplier of Third Party Products makes any documentation providing for an end-user warranty available to K-T, then K-T shall forward
such documentation to Customer.
7.1.5
No Third Party Rights. Any warranties extended by K-T (i) are nontransferable and for Customer’s benefit only, and (ii) shall expire effective
immediately if Customer transfers any Software to any third party.
7.2 Exclusive Remedies. If the Software materially fails to conform to the limited warranty set forth in Section 7.1 (Limited Warranty), K-T shall, at its
sole discretion (i) repair or replace the non-conforming Software to remedy the non-conformity identified by Customer in accordance with Section 7.3
(Warranty Period); or (ii) refund to Customer the amounts paid for the Software in exchange for return of the non-conforming Software, in which case all
licenses granted to Customer under these Standalone Software License Terms for such Software shall be automatically revoked. This Software warranty
does not obligate K-T to provide any on-site repair or on-site replacement of Software. At K-T’s discretion, repair of the Software may be made in later
releases of Software and may require the purchase of additional software or hardware at Customer’s expense. THE REMEDIES EXPRESSLY PROVIDED
IN THIS SECTION 7.2 WILL BE CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AND SHALL BE IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER RIGHTS OR REMEDIES
CUSTOMER MAY HAVE AGAINST K-T WITH RESPECT TO ANY NON-CONFORMANCE OF SOFTWARE.
7.3 Warranty Period. Unless K-T expressly specifies or agrees on a different warranty period in a duly signed writing, the warranty period for Software
shall be ninety (90) days. The warranty period shall begin on the Delivery Date. Customer shall have no warranty claims under Section 7.1 (Limited
Warranty), unless K-T receives from Customer, during the warranty period (i) a written notice describing the warranty breach in reasonable detail
(“Warranty Claim”); and (ii) remote and physical access to the affected Software as well as information in sufficient detail to enable K-T to reproduce and
analyze the failure.
7.4 Costs and Procedure. If K-T receives a Warranty Claim in accordance with Section 7.1 (Limited Warranty), Section 7.3 (Warranty Period), and any procedure
guidelines that K-T may publish or make available to Customer (“Warranty Guidelines”), K-T will not charge for any repair, replacement, error identification, or
correction of the non-conforming Software. If Customer’s Warranty Claim fails to meet any of the requirements of Sections 7.1 (Limited Warranty), Section 7.3
(Warranty Period), or the Warranty Guidelines, K-T’s then-current Time & Materials Services Terms (available on request) shall apply to any error identification or
correction efforts, repair, replacement, and shipment costs by K-T and Customer shall compensate K-T accordingly on a time & materials basis at K-T’s then-current
rates (available on request).

WARRANTIES WITH REGARD TO ANY SOFTWARE. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, K-T DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED
WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT AND, WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT THE SOFTWARE
WILL BE ERROR-FREE, THAT ITS PERFORMANCE OR OPERATION WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, OR THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL PERFORM ON
ANY HARDWARE OR WITH ANY SOFTWARE, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY CERTIFIED AS INTEROPERABLE BY K-T IN THE APPLICABLE
DOCUMENTATION.

TERMINATION
86-3820 Version-1.0
EtchTemp Wafer User Manual
Software License Terms
4-37
8.1 Termination for Cause. Without limiting Section 3.1 (License Grant) with respect to the automatic termination of license rights for specific Software, K-T may
terminate – at K-T’s sole discretion either all or specific – licenses to Software granted hereunder, by giving written notice, effective immediately, if within ten (10) days
of Customer’s receipt of a reasonably detailed written request to cure, Customer has not cured all breaches of payment obligations, license limitations and restrictions,
including, but not limited to, the License Parameters, or any other substantial obligations under these Standalone Software License Terms. Upon such termination,
Customer shall immediately pay all outstanding fees, cease use of all Software and related Documentation, return or delete, at K-T’s request and sole discretion, all
copies of the Software and Documentation in Customer’s possession, and certify compliance with all foregoing obligations to K-T in writing. These termination rights are
in addition to any other rights and remedies that K-T may have at law or in equity.
8.2 Survival. K-T’s General Terms and these Standalone Software License Terms, except Sections 2.1 (Delivery) and 3.1 (License Grant), shall survive termination of
any or all licenses granted hereunder.
9. AUDIT. CUSTOMER AGREES TO KEEP COMPLETE, CORRECT AND DETAILED RECORDS RELATING TO (I) THE REPRODUCTION AND USE OF THE SOFTWARE AND
DOCUMENTATION, INCLUDING, AT A MINIMUM, THE LOCATION OF ALL SOFTWARE, LICENSED COMPUTERS, AND BACK-UP COPIES OF SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION; AND (II) THE
TRANSFER OF HARDWARE OR MEDIA ON WHICH ANY SOFTWARE IS EMBEDDED OR OTHERWISE CONTAINED AND CUSTOMER’S COMPLIANCE WITH ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION
5 (TRANSFERS AND OTHER ACTIONS UNDER MANDATORY LAW). AT K-T’S REQUEST AND UPON TEN (10) DAYS PRIOR WRITTEN NOTICE, K-T AND/OR ITS AUTHORIZED
REPRESENTATIVES (E.G., AN ACCOUNTANT AND/OR COMPUTER EXPERT) – COLLECTIVELY, THE “AUDITORS” – SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO INSPECT AND AUDIT CUSTOMER’S
COMPLIANCE WITH THESE STANDALONE SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS AT CUSTOMER’S FACILITIES AND OTHER APPLICABLE LOCATIONS, AT ANY TIME, DURING NORMAL BUSINESS
HOURS, BUT NO MORE THAN TWICE PER YEAR. CUSTOMER SHALL FULLY COOPERATE WITH SUCH AUDIT, AND GRANT ALL REQUIRED ASSISTANCE AND ACCESS TO ALL RECORDS,
MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT. IF AN AUDIT REVEALS THAT CUSTOMER POSSESSES OR AT ANY TIME POSSESSED UNLICENSED COPIES OF THE SOFTWARE OR DOCUMENTATION, OR
THAT CUSTOMER DID NOT REMOVE OR DELETE ALL COPIES OF SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION THAT CUSTOMER WAS OBLIGATED TO REMOVE OR DELETE IN ACCORDANCE WITH
SECTION 5 (TRANSFERS AND OTHER ACTIONS UNDER MANDATORY LAW), CUSTOMER SHALL IMMEDIATELY PAY FOR SUCH COPIES THE GREATER OF THE FEES APPLICABLE PER
K-T’S STANDARD RATES AND PRICES AT THE TIME OF (A) CONTRACT FORMATION; (B) CUSTOMER’S UNAUTHORIZED COPYING; OR (C) THE COMPLETION OF THE AUDIT. IF SUCH FEES
AMOUNT TO MORE THAN TEN PERCENT (10 %) OF THE AMOUNT PREVIOUSLY PAID OR PAYABLE TO K-T UNDER THESE STANDALONE SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS FOR THE AUDITED
TIME PERIOD THEN (Y) CUSTOMER SHALL REIMBURSE K-T FOR ALL EXPENSES RELATED TO THE AUDIT; AND (Z) K-T SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO IMMEDIATELY TERMINATE – AT ITS
SOLE DISCRETION EITHER ALL OR ONLY THE AFFECTED – LICENSES BY GIVING WRITTEN NOTICE, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY. THE AUDITORS SHALL NOT DISCLOSE ANY OF
CUSTOMER’S INFORMATION EXCEPT AS RELATED TO ANY NON-COMPLIANCE WITH THESE STANDALONE SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS OR INFRINGEMENTS OF K-T’S RIGHTS. K-T’S
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THIS SECTION 9 SHALL BE IN ADDITION TO AND NOT IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER RIGHTS OR REMEDIES THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO K-T AT LAW OR IN EQUITY.
