• Comparing the molecular contamination contribution of clean packaging films
  with packaging films.3 Indeed, it has been confirmed that black residue found between antistatic PE and aluminum foil was closely related to the incorporation of chemical additives in the packaging film. Furthermore, outgassing measurements have shown that test coupons packaged in generic polymer films...
• MICRO: Removing postash polymer residue from BEOL structures using inorganic chemicals
  are dispensed onto a spinning wafer at three dedicated process levels, allowing for tight process control and eliminating the risk of chemical cross-contamination. Work on the use of inorganic chemicals for postash polymer removal has been conducted at facilities in Europe, while ongoing process development...
• Comparing cleanroom wipers with a dry abrasion resistance test
  cleanroom wipers with a dry abrasion resistance test Osmond Atterbury, Himansu R. Bhattacharjee, Douglas W. Cooper, and Steven J. Paley, Texwipe The continuing effort to improve the cleanliness of semiconductor fabs and other contamination-sensitive manufacturing environments includes selecting non...
• Milling Equipment FAQs
  available for testing, we often are able to test on the exact required Micron-Master(R) mill. How much contamination will a Micron-Master(R) mill add to my product?. Correctly specified the mill will add no contamination to the product, or amounts so small as to be undetectable and of no significance...
• Bearing maintenance tools enhance sustainability with rotating equipment
  and equipped with a snap-type cage made of a temperature-resistant glass fiber-reinforced polymer. The bearings are lubricated with a low-noise, low-friction grease. "The energy-efficient bearings ran 50% longer after power shutdown than standard deep groove ball bearings.". - Paul Michalicka, SKF USA Inc...
• MICRO: Testing liquid-handling system components to ensure purity and reliability
  released specifications for particulate and metallic contamination in components. Not included, however, are specifications for particle release, while requirements for metallic extractables are based on extraction into water. Section 3.7 states that the relative leach-out performance of polymer...

  the contamination is coming from, how to test for it, how to prevent it, and the kind of filtration that might be needed." The microcontamination symposium takes place at the Westin Hotel in Santa Clara, CA, on Tuesday, March 10. IDEMA may be reached at 408/720-9352; fax, 408/720-9380. MicroHome | Search...
• A dry subject
  expensive to purchase and maintain, and better resist contamination. Materials suitable for dry bearings include polymers and polymer composites, carbon graphite, ceramics, and wood. A basic understanding of the underlying physics of dry bearings should help with the selection process. Two bodies...
• MICRO:Surface Chemistries, by Joseph Zahka, p.85 (March '99)
  filters. Even at elevated temperatures the viscosity of the organic solutions can remain high, reducing flow in the system. Because of the relatively large amount of material being removed, stripping of bulk resist is one of the few cleaning steps in the fab during which the removal of contamination...
• Using Corona Cameras as Reliable Tools to Diagnose Compromised Insulators Prior to Failure
  Corona discharge is a major threat to the integrity of non-ceramic polymer insulators (NCI). It produces Ozone, nitric oxides and emits Ultra Violet leading to erosion and decomposition of the insulators' and affecting their mechanical and electrical properties. Ongoing research is performed...
