It is nonvolatile, difficult to oxidize, non-ionic, and highly soluble in water and has a low molecular weight (60 g/mol). Conventional ultrapure water purification techniques are not able to remove it from UPW, and it is a common contaminant in every water reclaim system. Urea naturally decomposes into ammonia, that even at part per billion concentrations, may negatively impact the performance of the acid-catalyzed, chemically amplified photoresists used in today’s DUV photolithography processes. Due to the increasing demand for high quality UPW in the semiconductor industry with tight specs and need to promote water conservation, it is important to treat urea in UPW	...

UPW Distribution Design, Operation, and Risk Management in Facility 2.0 The design of the UPW distribution system directly impacts the capacity required in the polish plant, as well as the performance and reliability of steady pressure control. Implementation of end-of-return pressure control is a well demonstrated tool for capacity and reliability management, but its benefits and limits must be quantified. Where previous fabs may have had just one end-of-supply or end-of-main pressure control valve, new fabs often have two or more. Multiple zones or submains require methodical management of risk where many control valves are in play.	...
