What Are New Trends In Semiconductor High-Purity And Wastewater Treatment?
Constant developments in the microelectronics industry, with finer line widths and the requirement of essentially particle-free water, also brings with it many challenges involving the conservation and reuse of water, treatment of growing streams of wastewater produced from high-purity water from processes such as CMP, photolithography and etchant rinsing. This article provides an overview of featured keynote speakers, technical presentations on UPW and process water/wastewater as well as Roundtable Networking session at the UPW Micro 2015 conference.

How can preventative maintenance of filters ensure the highest quality UPW at the lowest cost of ownership?
UF even withstands episodic increase of particle numbers in the feed (e.g., caused by conditioning of ion-exchange resins) without negative effects for water quality and service lifetime. Such a particle challenge typically involves high concentrations of ~10-nanometer (nm) particles. On the other hand, current on-line particle counters approach their lower detection limit at about 10nm. Large numbers of particles nearby and below this limit remain undetected. Hence, the integrity of a UF membrane is essential to keep these small particles under control; it can hardly be evaluated by comparing particle counts upstream and downstream. Therefore, better test methods are needed to identify membrane damages, and to decide on service life and replacement of UF membranes.
