GUIDE FOR ULTRAPURE WATER SYSTEM USED IN

SEMICONDUCTOR PROCESSING

This guide was technically approved by the Global Facilities Committee and is the direct responsibility of the

North American Facilities Committee. Current edition approved by the North American Regional Standards

Committee on November 22, 2000. Initially available at www.semi.org December 2000; to be published

March 2001.

1 Purpose

1.1 This guide establishes the typical definitional

requirements for an ultrapure water (UPW) system used

in semiconductor manufacturing. It is intended to

establish a common basis for developing detailed

specifications in subsequent documents concerning

design, performance and certification and monitoring of

UPW systems.

1.2 This document may be used by users and suppliers

as a basis for developing site-specific UPW

specifications and performance criteria.

2 Scope

2.1 This guide applies to ultrapure water systems used

in semiconductor manufacturing facilities for supplying

high purity water for chemical dilutions, wafer

processing and other manufacturing processes.

2.2 This guide can be used to understand the design

elements and functionality of all UPW systems, which

includes a Reverse Osmosis (RO) and a Deionization

(DI) process. However, it is most applicable to newer

designed UPW systems that support submicron

linewidth device manufacturing.

2.3 This standard does not purport to address safety

issues, if any, associated with its use. It is the

responsibility of the users of this standard to establish

appropriate safety and health practices and determine

the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

3 Limitations

3.1 This guide does not define the actual specifications

generally negotiated between the user and the

manufacturer of the UPW system, against which water

samples are tested and qualification is passed.

3.2 This guide does not address the testing and

prequalification of materials, subassemblies, or

components used in a UPW system.

3.3 This guide does not address the protocols and

requirements defined by the manufacturer concerning

the installation of the UPW system.

3.4 This guide does not address the type, level, or

frequency of testing necessary and appropriate for

ongoing monitoring of a UPW system.

3.5 This guide does not address the frequency or scope

of ongoing maintenance for UPW systems including

change out of resin beds and replacement of filters.

3.6 This guide does not intend to cover any of the

important safety considerations that relate to the proper

installation, operation, or maintenance of a UPW

system.

4 Terminology

4.2 Definitions

4.2.1 activated Carbon  a media filter used to

remove oxidizing agents, like chlorine and chloramines,

and remove (adsorb) certain TOC compounds.

4.2.2 anion  a negatively charged ion.

4.2.3 cation  a positively charged ion.

4.2.4 clarifier  a piece of water treatment

equipment, typically used at municipal drinking water

plants, to remove suspended solids from surface water

and/or to soften surface water.

4.2.5 degasification  the removal of a certain

amount of volatile compounds dissolved in water.

4.2.6 deionization (DI)  the removal of undesirable

ions from water.

4.2.7 DI storage  generally refers to a storage tank

that contains DI water, located between the primary and

polishing ion exchange subsystems.

4.2.8 DI (deionized) water  generally refers to water

that has passed through a full-train ion exchange system

or RO water that has been polished by ion exchange.

4.2.9 dissolved solids  contaminants in water that

are so small that they are uniformly distributed, includ-

ing ions and the smallest TOC and silica compounds.

4.2.10 dual-beds  an ion exchange scheme where a

cation exchange unit is followed by an anion exchange

unit.

4.2.11 electrodeionization (EDI)  a water treatment

technology that utilizes mixed-bed ion exchange plus

an electrical potential to remove undesirable dissolved

solids. Also referred to in the industry as CDI

(Continuous Deionization).

4.2.12 filtration  the removal of suspended solids by

passing water through some form of solid or semi-solid

medium.

4.2.13 final filter  generally the final treatment step

in a UPW system; used to remove suspended solids.

4.2.14 full-train DI  an ion exchange scheme where
