Protocol Training Contamination Control Team (Radio Channel: G-6)




Purpose

• The purpose of this training is to help you understand and utilize some of the unique construction methods that are required on this project.

• Expectation – The work you perform should have “zero impact” on the process viability of

the new and existing facility.

IMPACT




Objectives

• At the end of this lesson you should be able to: – Describe Protocol for a level 4/5 cleanroom

– Identify what items you can take into the cleanroom or Fab

– Properly smock and un-smock when entering or exiting the cleanroom

– Demonstrate how to properly store cleanroom smocks

– Properly wipe down tools, equipment and necessary items when entering the cleanroom

– Identify ways to minimize contamination while using tools

– Describe how to properly store equipment

– Explain unacceptable activities in a cleanroom




What is Contamination?

Any material, substance, particle, chemical, or other undesirable substance that is unwanted that can taint, pollute, defile, make impure or unclean, or adversely effect the process or product.




Ultra Pure Material

• Products and materials used to manufacture microprocessors are ultra-pure and very susceptible to contamination

– A major source of contamination in the cleanroom is people

Slide - 76




Why Do We Care About Contamination?

• Contamination causes: – Defects on the wafers

– Decreased quality

– Decreased yield

– Decreased revenue

Slide - 77




Just How Small is a Micron?

• Trying to find a 0.3 micron particle on a 300 mm wafer is like trying to find a grain of salt on a football field.

• A human hair averages 40 – 100 microns in diameter

• With good eye-sight a person can see particles that measure 50 microns

• We measure as low as 0.1 micron particles in the Fab

• We are a Class 100 Fab @ 0.3 micron




Contamination can cause numerous risks to wafers/fab

• Molecular Contamination From Chemical/Material Out-Gassing

– Ammonia/Bases Neutralizes Photo generated

acids makes the photo resist insoluble

– Acids

Hazing of Scanner Lens

– Combined Acids + Ammonia Gasses

Forms Salt Particles

– Siloxanes

Scanner Lens Starlight Effect

• Particle Contamination

– Metal and Organic Particles

Leads to Gate Function Damage

Salt Particles

D




Why Do We Wear Masks In The Fab?

Activity Contamination Range

Normal Talking 3 feet

Coughing 6 feet

Sneezing 15 feet (200 mph)




Visible Contamination

• Visible contamination – Particles greater than 50 microns in diameter

• Types of visible contamination: – Dust

– Dirt

– Metal filings

– Rust

– Chipped paint

– Drywall dust

– Concrete dust

• These types of contaminates are easy to detect and clean




Wipe-Down

1. Cleanroom wipes will be used to wipe material and tools

2. Latex gloves must be worn for cleaning

3. Wipe materials in a unidirectional method i. From the top down

ii. Do not wipe in a circular motion

4. Dispose of wipes in the approved site container
