REF · 006-ELEC04 / Electronics

Semiconductor cleanroom.

The electronics and semiconductor industry imposes the most extreme purity requirements on the market. Wafer handling, anti-static blowing, inert chambers for etching or packaging require air and nitrogen completely free of particles (ISO 14644 class 5 to 7) with extremely low dew point.

Technical challenges

What needs to be solved.

  • 01Achieve particle purity below 0.01 µm on compressed air and technical nitrogen, in compliance with SEMI F and ISO 8573-1 class 0.
  • 02Guarantee total system availability — an unplanned shutdown on an etching line can cost several hundred thousand euros per hour.
  • 03Generate on-site nitrogen at 99.999 % purity with a total cost of ownership lower than bottle or bulk delivery.
Use case

A concrete example.

A class ISO 6 semiconductor foundry installs a CZ-N2-PSA-100 nitrogen generator producing 100 Nm³/h at 99.999 % purity, coupled with a CZ-SLT-75V oil-free screw compressor as the purge air source. Payback versus bottled nitrogen delivery is achieved in 16 months. Three stages of ISO 8573-1 class 0 filtration and a −70 °C adsorption dryer guarantee wafer specifications.
