Controlling AMCs in semiconductor and LCD fabs (Sep 15, 2009)

Researchers from Taiwan's ITRI, Winbond Electronics, and TPO Displays discuss case scenarios and follow-up procedures for mitigating airborne molecular contaminants (AMC) -- and improving yields -- in semiconductor and TFT-LCD manufacturing environments.

Litho contaminants: Getting ready for EUV (Aug 5, 2009)
Jitze Stienstra, director, gas microcontamination, at Entegris, discusses the challenges of managing contaminants in leading-edge lithographic processes. When the industry begins using EUV lithography, the materials of construction of the tools, the process materials, wafers, reticles, and the photoresists, will all be potential sources of contamination.
