March 22nd is World Water Day[1], a day dedicated to raising awareness about the global water crisis and promoting action to conserve water. Water scarcity is a critical issue that can cause conflicts and disrupt peace. For example, a single semiconductor manufacturing plant, also known as a "Fab," can consume 25.7 million gallons of water per day, which is equivalent to the water usage of...
Read MoreIn today’s world, we constantly depend on electronics such as computers, smartphones, automobiles, medical equipment, and much more. We rely on technologies that utilize key components made by state-of-the-art facilities, better known as “fabs” in the semiconductor industry. Semiconductor fab manufacturing processes use up to 430 different chemicals to manufacture a wafer; 65% are liquids, and 33% are gas phases.[1] Depending on the application and process,...
Read MoreWith the start of a new year, it is imperative to prioritize your preventative maintenance schedule. Adhering to this crucial process can significantly enhance the mean time between failures (MTBF). Preventive maintenance helps minimize unexpected breakdowns and improves your equipment's overall efficiency and longevity. Creating a comprehensive maintenance plan outlining the specific tasks and intervals for each piece of equipment is recommended. Stay ahead of...
