4.1.10 flexible-sequence cluster tool — a cluster tool in
which the units of production visit a subset of the
processing modules of the tool in sequences that may
vary from unit to unit. In such tools, the processing

maximum potential performance taking the existing
equipment design and recipe specifications as given.
4.1.16 performance efficiency (time divided by time)
— the fraction of equipment uptime that the equipment
is processing actual units at theoretically efficient rates.
4.1.17 processing module — an indivisible production
entity within an equipment system, e.g., a processing
chamber or station within a cluster tool.
4.1.18 processing module recipe — all processing
steps of a recipe performed within a single processing
module without requiring reloading of that processing
module (CSM 42).
4.1.19 production time (time) — sum of all periods of
time in which a processing module is performing its
intended function.
• For a non-cluster tool, a fixed-sequence cluster
tool, or an individual processing module within a
flexible-sequence cluster tool, production time is
equivalent to the SEMI E10 productive time for
that entity.
• For a flexible-sequence cluster tool, production
time is the sum of the productive times of all
processing modules encompassed by the cluster
tool (CSM 42).
4.1.20 productive state — a period of time (productive
time) when the equipment is performing its intended
function (SEMI E10).
4.1.21 quality efficiency (time divided by time) — the
theoretical production time for Effective Units divided

4.1.22 rate efficiency (time divided by time) — the
fraction of production time that equipment is
processing actual units at theoretically efficient rates.
4.1.23 recipe — the pre-planned and reusable portion
of the set of instructions, settings, and parameters under
control of a processing agent that determines the
processing environment seen by the material. Recipes
may be subject to change between runs or processing
cycles (SEMI E38).
4.1.24 system — an integrated structure of components
and subsystems capable of performing, in aggregate,
one or more specific functions. For the purpose of this
specification, a system consists of one or more
processing or non-processing modules.

4.1.25 theoretical production time per unit (THT) (time
per unit) — the minimum rate of time per unit to
complete processing, given:
• the specified recipe
• the equipment design
• continuous operation
• no efficiency losses
NOTE 2: Recipe specifications and settings for THT are the
ones actually used in production and are not idealized.
Equipment of the same design (e.g., same make and model)
are expected to have the same THTs, whereas equipment of a
different design may have different THTs even if they
perform the same intended function. Continuous operation
requires that equipment loading is optimized for throughput
and there are no internal or external interruptions or delays to
processing. Given the constraints of specified recipe,
equipment design, and continuous operation, THTs shall
not include allowances for any other efficiency losses (e.g.,
slower than ideal changes in temperature or pressure, longer
than ideal reaction times for valves or moving parts, different
moments within a maintenance cycle or the life-cycle of a
consumable, etc.).
4.1.26 theoretical production time (time) — production
time during a period that is theoretically required to
complete the unit quantities of the production recipes
undertaken during the period. Theoretical production
time is computed as the aggregation over all recipes of
the theoretical production time per unit for the recipe
applied to the unit quantity of that recipe (CSM 21,
CSM 42). For flexible-sequence cluster tools,
theoretical production time is the sum of the theoretical
production times for the set of virtual machines.
4.1.27 theoretical unit throughput by recipe (units per
time) — for a given production recipe, the number of
units per period of time that theoretically could be
processed by the equipment. For each recipe,
theoretical unit throughput is equal to the reciprocal of
theoretical production time per unit.
4.1.28 total time (time) — all time (at the rate of 24
hours per day, seven days per week) during the period
being measured. In order to have a valid representation
of total time all six basic equipment states shall be
accounted for and tracked accurately (SEMI E10). For a
flexible-sequence cluster tool, total time is defined as
the aggregate total time of the set of virtual machines
encompassed by the cluster tool (CSM 42).
4.1.29 unit — any wafer, die, packaged device, or
piece part thereof (includes product and non-product
units) (SEMI E10).
4.1.30 uptime (equipment uptime) (time) — the time
when the equipment is in a condition to perform its
intended function. It includes productive, standby, and
engineering time, and does not include any portion of
non-scheduled time (SEMI E10). For a flexible-
sequence cluster tool, uptime is defined as the
aggregate uptime of the set of virtual machines
encompassed by the cluster tool (CSM 42).
4.1.31 virtual machine — an individual processing
module within a flexible-sequence cluster tool, in
combination with the transport module(s) serving that
processing module. A flexible-sequence cluster tool has
one virtual machine defined for each of its processing
modules (CSM 42).
4.2 Terminology Applicable to Computation of
Additional Productivity Metrics Defined in Appendix 2
4.2.1 demand equipment efficiency (DEE) (time
divided by time) — a measure of equipment
productivity during the time that products are planned
to be available to process at the equipment.
4.2.2 engineering overall equipment efficiency (E-
OEE) (time divided by time) — a measure of
equipment productivity assuming process specifications
are optimized for minimum production time.
4.2.3 engineering theoretical production time per unit
(ETHT) – (time per unit) — the theoretical time
required to process a given recipe assuming the recipe
specification is optimized for minimum production
time. ETHT is based on minimum durations for the
objective processing steps, e.g., implant time for ion
implant systems, plus minimum allowances for any
additional supporting process steps, e.g., heating,
cooling, gas stabilization, that are deemed absolutely
necessary. ETHT
shall be defined to be less than or
equal to the corresponding theoretical time per unit
(THT) used in calculating OEE.
4.2.4 equipment down no product time (time) — the
period of equipment downtime during which there are
no units available at the equipment to process.
4.2.5 intrinsic equipment efficiency (IEE) (time divided
by time) — a measure of equipment productivity that
considers the combined effect of rate efficiency losses,
recipe design, and equipment design.
4.2.6 no product time (time) — the period of standby
time that the equipment is idle because there are no
units available at the equipment to process.
4.2.7 planned no product time (time) — the period of
operations time that the factory model or production
schedule expects the equipment to be idle because there
are no units available to process at the equipment.
4.2.8 production equipment efficiency (PEE) (time
divided by time) — a measure of equipment
productivity during the time that products are available
to process at the tool.

SEMI E79-0304 © SEMI 1999, 2004 4
NOTE 3: One application of PEE is to measure the
productivity of non-constraint tools that are expected to have
periods of idle time due to lack of available work.
4.2.9 reference overall equipment efficiency (R-OEE)
(time divided by time) — a measure of equipment
productivity relative to a benchmark theoretical
production time.
4.2.10 reference theoretical production time per unit
(RTHT) (time per unit) — the theoretical time required
to process a given recipe on benchmark equipment (i.e.,
the fastest equipment model of similar type), for a
benchmark product and process design. RTHT
shall be
defined to be less than or equal to the corresponding
theoretical time per unit (THT) used in calculating
OEE.
4.2.11 value-added in-process overall equipment
efficiency (VA-OEE) (time divided by time) — a
measure of equipment productivity assuming all time
except the value-added portion of processing cycles is
wasted equipment time.
4.2.12 value-added in-process theoretical production
time per unit (VTHT) (time per unit) — theoretical
production time per unit that credits only the objective
processing steps that add value to products. VTHT
shall
be defined to be less than or equal to engineering
theoretical production time per unit (ETHT) used in
calculating engineering OEE (E-OEE).
5 Equipment Productivity Measurement
5.1 The OEE calculation has been stated in terms that
are consistent with SEMI E10. Reference may be made
to Figure 1.
5.1.1 Figure 2 indicates how total time may be divided
into portions representing theoretical production time
for effective units and various sources of productivity
loss. The domain for productivity improvement of all
losses except operational efficiency is shared between
the equipment supplier and equipment user.
Productivity improvement of operational efficiency is
the exclusive domain of the equipment user.
5.1.2 The formulas introduced in this section require as
inputs the following fundamental quantities: total time,
equipment uptime, production time, and theoretical
production time. Sample calculations for each of the
formulas are provided in Appendix 1.
5.1.3 For efficiency measurement of individual
processing modules or of fixed-sequence cluster tools,
the fundamental quantities may be tallied in a
straightforward manner, and consequently the formulas
of this section may be applied in a straightforward
fashion.
5.1.4 For efficiency measurement of flexible-sequence
cluster tools, determination of the fundamental
quantities requires more involved calculations.
Formulas are provided in Section 6 for computing the
fundamental quantities for flexible-sequence cluster
tools. These fundamental quantities then may be used
as inputs to the formulas of this section to compute the
efficiency of a flexible-sequence cluster tool.
5.1.5 Additional supplemental efficiency metrics that
will enable users to assess more specific aspects of
equipment productivity are:
• Reference OEE,
• Engineering OEE,
• Value-Added In-Process OEE,
• Demand Equipment Efficiency,
• Production Equipment Efficiency, and
• Intrinsic Equipment Efficiency.
Definitions and formulas for these metrics are presented
in Appendix 2.
