Research and Markets - Need for Low Defects via Low Purity
Publish Date : 11/25/2004 10:09:00 AM Source : Science and Technology News Onlypunjab.com
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c9669) has announced the addition of Cleanrooms and Contamination Control in VLSI Manufacturing to their offering.
The yield and reliability of semiconductor devices is a function of particulate contamination in all stages of fabrication. Yield increases as the number of defects/cm2 decreases. Because of the larger die size of increasingly complex chips, the impact on yield in enhanced. 1.6 defects/cm2 equates to a 40% yield for 4 Mbit DRAMS, but a 10% yield for 16 Mbit DRAMs and 0% yield for 64 Mbit DRAMs. The need for low defects, via low purity and particulate levels, is paramount to successful VLSI fabrication.
This report details important technological issues and trends in cleanroom design and related issues of contamination of wafers from liquid and gaseous chemicals, deionized water, and ambient air. A description of the worlds cleanrooms is presented, discussing all the details of each of these fabs, segmented by geographical region. Also discussed are the markets for filters and the growth and strategic issues in cleanroom construction.
This report addresses the issues of contamination of Si and GaAs wafers from liquid and gaseous chemicals, de-ionized water, and ambient air. The latest developments in the identification, monitoring, and removal of these contaminants are described, together with the trends in usage.
Issues important to both user and supplier are described, focusing on a need to develop a synergy between these two groups. Most importantly, issues impacting users and suppliers in a competitive atmosphere with the Japanese are elucidated.This report addresses the worldwide markets and forecasts of cleanroom construction, and filters. A description of the worlds cleanrooms is also presented, discussing all the details of each of these fabs, segmented by geographical region.
