Standards Technical Education Program (STEP) on SEMI S2 EHS Guideline for Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment and SEMI S8 Safety Guidelines for Ergonomics Engineering of Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment

Thursday, 9 October 2008, 08:30–12:30
New Messe Stuttgart Conference Center (ICS), Germany
In conjunction with SEMICON Europa 2008

Session Chairs

Mark Harralson, Intel

Saranpal (Sunny) Rai, Intertek

Bert Planting, ASML

Description

As far as ergonomics risks are concerned, the majority of design issues today relate to maintenance and service activities and the most prevalent concern in these types of tasks are the handling of heavy equipment components. The training will cover the three most common MMH assessment methods expected to be performed as part of an S8 assessment, and will touch on recommended risk characterization for non-compliant tasks.

SEMI S2 is the most widely accepted basic industry safety guidelines used to design the Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment (SME). It consists of specific requirements for several types of hazards associated with SME, including Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical, Lasers and Radiations. As the basic design guide for the SME it also has significant impact on the regulatory requirements around the world. This course will provide you with the basic understanding of the SEMI S2 requirements and their relationship to other regulatory standards around the world.

Closure of Program

Who Should Attend

Individuals involved in the design or EHS evaluation of semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

What is a STEP and why should I attend?

A Standards Technical Education Program (STEP) is a technical program focused on one or several SEMI International Standards. SEMI produces STEPs to communicate information about newly published or revised standards, or critical documents under development, that are expected to have a profound impact on industry operations. It is common for members of the originating standards task force to serve as presenters. Attending a STEP will give you the opportunity to learn more about the application of a critical new standard which impacts your manufacturing site or affects your supplier-customer relationships. This technical education program will teach you how to implement new technical information into your everyday fab operations, which may help you and your company to improve your product and processes considerably.
