ISO Enters Last Lap in Formalizing New Cleanroom Classifications

02/01/1997  Geneva, Switzerland -- Headquarters for the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has just released its new Draft International Standard (DIS) for cleanrooms and associated controlled environments. ISO/DIS 14644-1, "Cleanrooms and associated controlled environments, Part 1: Classification of airborne particulate cleanliness for cleanrooms and clean zones" establishes three new classes of cleanliness. It also prescribes the standard method of testing, and includes a procedure for d
Training video

02/01/1997  A new videocassette from Texwipe demonstrates the proper use of cleanroom wipers in the semiconductor, disk drive, pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturing industries. "The Systematic Approach to Cleaning" is a 12-minute instructional video, written and produced by Texwipe. This video is an employee training tool for those who work in cleanrooms. Viewers are alerted to the high-cost of contamination in the various industries and how minute amounts of contamination such as fibers, particle

Wafer Processing

Date and time TBD

As the industry moves to 10nm and 7nm nodes, advances in wafer processing – etch, deposition, planarization, implant, cleaning, annealing, epitaxy among others – will be required. Manufacturers are looking for new solutions for sustained strain engineering, FinFETs, FDSOI and multi-gate technologies, 3D NAND, and high mobility transistors.
