SEMI S2 Evaluation

 

SEMI S2 is the safety guideline developed by the Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI), which are documents defining the minimum safety requirements required for your semiconductor products. Additionally, conforming to SEMI S2 contributes to the marketability of your products as some companies and distributers will not purchase a product without conformance to SEMI guidelines. On top of SEMI S2 guidelines, there are other SEMI safety guidelines such as SEMI S1 for Equipment Safety Labels and SEMI S8 for Ergonomics Engineering of Semiconductors. We can evaluate product’s construction, perform necessary tests and provide a report to all applicable section of SEMI S2 and the specific SEMI Guidelines referenced  (S1, S3, S8, S14, and S22).

 

 

SEMI S2

 

SEMI S2 is the basis of semiconductor equipment safety programs. The standards written by the SEMI organization led the way for safety of semiconductor manufacturing equipment and the handling of hazardous semiconductor manufacturing materials. This is to say, SEMI is the key semiconductor industry standards body. Throughout the industry, you will find that these standards are required for your equipment to achieve customer acceptance.  With literally thousands of pieces of equipment implemented through our company, we certainly have the background and depth to support you through design, testing, evaluation and certification.

 

Types Of Equipment

 

SEMI S2 is applicable to all types of semiconductor manufacturing equipment. SEMI S2 applies to Ion Implanters, Litho Equipment, and wet benches. It applies to etchers, mask aligners, CVD, Saws, Spin Coaters and any other equipment in the Fab. Etchers, Implanters, Clean Tracks, Chemical Dispense Systems, Bulk Gas Distribution, Gas Cabinets, Gas Source Cabinets, Metrology Systems, Test Systems, CMP Systems, Furna ces, Sub-Systems, and Industrial Lasers.

 

 

Summary Of The Standard & Safety Guidelines

 

SEMI S2 was created by the semiconductor equipment industry. The goal of SEMI S2 is to increase semiconductor equipment safety. SEMI S2 includes Safety labeling, SEMI S2 Quitman design, SEMI S2 operator interface, SEMI S2 and SEMI S8 ergonomics, SEMI S2 safety interlock systems, SEMI S2 emergency shutdown, SEMI S2 electrical design, SEMI S2 fire protection, SEMI S2 heated chemical baths, SEMI S2 hazardous energy isolation, SEMI S2 lockout, SEMI S2 mechanical design, SEMI S2 seismic protection, SEMI S2 automated material handling equipment, SEMI S2 environmental considerations, SEMI S2 exhaust ventilation, SEMI S2 chemicals, SEMI S2 ionizing radiation, SEMI S2 non-ionizing radiation, SEMI S2, lasers, SEMI S2 sound pressure level measurement, and SEMI S2 fire protection.

SEMI S2 Certificate

To ensure a standard of safety throughout the industry and worldwide, the semiconductor equipment industry developed the SEMI S2/S8 Guidelines. They cover a wide range of safety and health provisions, e.g. regulatory requirements, electrical and chemical hazards, emergency shutdown and exhaust specifications.

TÜV Rheinland provides SEMI S2 and S8 assessment as Type Approval or of each machine to the latest version of the guideline.

The certificate remains valid unless the standard(s) expire or the client or TÜV Rheinland cancels the certificate. The certificate becomes invalid if the product is altered. Assessment and certification is voluntary. Certified products may be labeled with a test mark.

  SEMI S2 | SEMI S2 Evaluation |SEMI certification   SEMI S2 SEMI standards have been developed, reviewed, and often updated by the SEMI International Standards Program and its industry expert members who; focus on lowering manufacturing costs, the development of new industries, and guaranteeing the existence of open markets. SEMI S2 is the foundation guideline in SEMI's fleet of safety documents which defines the minimum safety requirements required for your semiconductor products. Conforming to SEMI S2 contributes to the marketability of your products and the efficiency and profitability of your business. Additionally, most purchasers of semiconductor and flat panel manufacturing and inspection tools will require compliance with the SEMI S2 requirements. SEMI S2 is the Environmental, Health, and Safety Guideline for Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment created by  SEMI . The large Chip Manufacturing companies will require a SEMI S2 Report before making equipm...

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) overview and main changes from previous directive

  The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) overview and main changes from previous directive.   The aim of the GDPR is to protect all EU citizens from privacy and data breaches in an increasingly data driven world and replace the Data Protection Directive 1995 that was designed to harmonize data privacy law across 28 EU member states. In the event if the UK leave the EU the GDRP will apply for all EU data subjects. After four years of developing and debates on GDPR was finally approved by the EU Parliament on  14 April 2016 . The enforcement will come into effect in  25 May 2018  where companies may face high fines in non-compliance. GDPR can fine up to 4% of annual global turnover or €20 Million for violating the core of Privacy by Design concepts. The rules will separate roles and responsibilities of the data controllers and processors, obligating controllers to deal only with those processors that provide “guarantees to implement appropriate t...
