Electromagnetic Interference and Electrical Overstress Management: Why, What, and How
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is becoming more critical in all aspects of semiconductor manufacturing, affecting productivity and yield.
The SEMI E176 Standard, "Guide to Assess and Minimize Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) in a Semiconductor Manufacturing Environment," addresses this issue. This document provides practical, actionable guidance on establishing an acceptable EMI environment in semiconductor processes: from assessing the EMI environment to EMI mitigation to verification. SEMI E176 sets recommended EMI limits for different process categories. The Standard can benefit every stage of the semiconductor process and electronic assembly.

PFAS is prevalent in our world and very much in our current conversation. But what is it? (or more correctly, what are they?), why are they under great scrutiny? are they all hazardous? and how would the semiconductor industry be impacted by their removal? With so much at stake, it is imperative that we have clarity in the discussion to ensure we successfully address this issue.
This webinar will address the what, why, and how of PFAS in the semiconductor industry. Laurie Beu, noted semiconductor EHS consultant and leader of SIA’s Semiconductor PFAS Consortium, will provide an overview of PFAS materials, concerns about health effects, and the current state of regulatory response. Laurie’s talk will be followed by Ralph Dammel, Technology Fellow at EMD Electronics, who will provide insights from a materials manufacturer’s perspective on the use of PFAS in the multiple markets addressed by EMD. He will discuss the importance of PFAS in lithography chemicals, the impact of potential new regulations, and options to reduce or eliminate the use of PFAS in semiconductor applications.
