Biocontamination control – moves toward a better standard – 28-Mar-2013
A review process of the biocontamination control standard ISO14698 has begun. The standard is chiefly concerned with environmental monitoring, but has not been widely adopted because it is not mentioned in any GMP guidance, not does it offer details on how environmental monitoring should be undertaken. The comprehensive review should raise its profile.
AMC: an emerging class of contamination– 1-Oct-2012
Airborne particles are often regarded as the number one contamination source in cleanrooms and controlled production environments, but some trace gases are undesirable for several industrial requirements and processes and are therefore defined as airborne molecular contamination. This kind of contamination is becoming steadily more important in critical cleanroom manufacturing processes.
Meeting the needs of EUV lithography– 1-Aug-2012
The requirements to reduce airborne molecular contamination (AMC) in semiconductor manufacturing cleanrooms are becoming more stringent as the industry prepares to migrate to extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. The Tiger-i platform of analysers from Tiger Optics eliminate the concerns arising from other analytical techniques. By utilising Tiger’s patented CW-CRDS technique, the instruments provide calibration-free, real-time analysis without the concerns of a radioactive source
Applying ISO methods to counter calibration– 21-Nov-2011
International standards for the monitoring of airborne particles apply to all cleanrooms or clean zones. The international committee, TC209 Working Group 1, has been examining potential revisions to the first two sections of the ISO 14644 document. One key change in the proposed revision is the normative reference to a calibration standard for the instrument to be used for cleanroom classification. Although calibration will probably create some additional cost, there will be noteworthy benefits in both the repeatability and the reproducibility of the measurements obtained
