300mm Wafer Fab Contamination Control

Mark Jamison
   
 
  Speaker:
Mark Jamison
HDR Architecture, Inc.
 
 
This presentation will discuss the characteristics of a 300mm wafer fab for industry and how the requirements of this facility type relate to other buildings for advanced technology. Specific contamination issues are identified and cleanroom solutions are outlined to address these issues. The presentation also reviews how evolving semiconductor technology has affected the design of the cleanroom environment and where future technology will lead us.

Organic and Chemical Contamination in Advanced Laboratories

Michael Somin
   
 
  Speaker:
Michael Somin
Earl Walls and Associates
 
 
The discussion will be organized around the theme of chemical contamination as it relates to biological investigations in an Advanced Technology Facility. We will investigate the challenges of combining BSL-3 or BSL-4 units within high tech cleanrooms. Can the positive pressure and recirculated air requirements of cleanrooms work with the negative pressure and exhausted air needs of biocontainment facilities? We will explore the requirements and outline some possibilities.

Achieving ISO Class 3 in a Retrofit Cleanroom: A Case Study

John Weaver
   
 
  Speaker:
John Weaver
Delphi Delco Electronics Systems
 
 
Over the past eighteen years, there has been a major change in cleanliness requirements for semiconductor cleanrooms and a corresponding change in the design of cleanrooms to meet those requirements. To achieve cleanliness levels of ISO Class 3 (formerly Class 1 per Federal Standard 209E), a new cleanroom is generally designed and constructed. In the case of the Roland Project at Delphi Delco Electronics Systems, a portion of a 1985-vintage Class 10 (Fed. Std. 209E) cleanroom was modified to achieve the more stringent requirements of ISO Class 3. This case study discusses the design of the facility modifications and the implementation of the construction project that achieved the cleanliness goals for the cleanroom. Included in the project were modifications to the air handling system and terminal filters, upgrades to the utilities supplied to the facility, modification of the bay-chase design of the cleanroom, and the installation of an entirely new tool set. All these were accomplished while maintaining production in the adjacent Class 10 portion of the cleanroom, which was in continuous operation. Also discussed are the clean-construction protocols that were utilized during the project and the final commissioning of the facility.
The project was completed successfully, meeting all of the cleanliness goals without interruption of, or cleanliness impact on, the adjacent production facility. The cleanroom modifications were achieved on-time and on-budget, and all product-cleanliness targets were exceeded.

Matrix Development - A Prerequisite for a Successful Cleanroom Design

Tim Loughran
   
 
  Speaker:
Tim Loughran
AdvanceTEC, LLC
 
 
One of the most serious and common mistakes made in the design of cleanroom facilities is starting design before all the requirements have been identified. Properly executed programming and planning provide the most reliable foundation for a successful cleanroom design and construction project. Programming, a term utilized in the design community to make information gathering look more attractive to team participants, develops the body of information needed to identify, clarify, and prioritize the cleanroom requirements. This program will discuss the cause and effect of improper programming on the design of a microelectronics facility.
