ITRS 2004 Environmental, Safety and Health Chapter ITRS Conference, San Francisco, CA July 14, 2004
Proposed Updates for 2004 AGENDA • Areas Under Discussion for 2005
Elimination of Requirements that are already “ESH Best Practices” • Table 102 (Workplace Protection) • Exposure Data • Dependency upon Personal Protective Equipment • Equipment/Process Risk Assessments • Ergonomic Stressor Evaluation • Collection of Regulatory Requirements • Pollutant Release and Transfer Disclosure
Restructured “Design for ESH” Section • Interim solutions are being used for Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) and for Chemical Risk Assessments. • Pollutant Release and Transfer Disclosure was dropped. • Regulatory requirements were dropped because they are covered by existing Environmental Management Systems.
Resource Conservation for Energy and Water • Energy Conservation (Table 102) • Ratio of Fab Equipment to Facilities energy use was changed from 50/50 to 40/60. • Water Conservation (Tables 102 and 105) • Eliminated redundancy by locating data only in Table 102.
Chemical/Materials Management Table 103 • Dropped requirements for safe dopant delivery systems (goal achieved) and expanded definition of dopant requirements. • Revised high-k materials of concern (dropped Ni, added Cr+6).
Chemical/Materials Management Table 102 • Revise “USE” metric to a “UTILIZATION” value . • Intend to replace generic recycling requirements with specific recycling technology – need industry comment on where this is appropriate. Table 103 • Validate the percent of current copper reclaim/recycle. • Replace generic improvement requirements with utilization factors.
Emerging Research Materials • Need to identify existing ESH restrictions pertaining to ERMs research. • Need to understand impact of uncertain future ESH barriers on ERMs. • New and emerging materials may have unique metrology requirements. e.g. – Nanomaterials
Synergy Between Technology R&D and ESH Legislative and Regulatory Development • Lack of synergy between technology R&D and ESH legislative/regulatory development. – Improve “crystal ball” • Regional differences in chemical regulatory restrictions (government and/or supplier constrained).
Data Collection • More installed base data are required to identify performance trends. • Need better definition for “Manufacturable solutions exist” with regard to ESH requirements. • Collect more data to establish baseline environmental burden.
Resource Conservation Targets • A difference exists between resource targets (water, energy, etc.) for ITRS and existing technology. • Compare 300mm wafer actuals versus the original 200mm to 300mm conversion goals
