SEMI F115 Test Method for Determination of Metallic Elements in Wet Surfaces of Ultra High Purity Chemical Delivery Systems and Components

SEMI F115 Test Method for Determination of Metallic Elements in Wet Surfaces of Ultra High Purity Chemical Delivery Systems and Components

The SEMI F115 standard, developed within the framework of an international standards program called the International Semiconductor Equipment and Materials (SEMI) program, which includes activities benefiting industries such as semiconductors, integrated circuits, transistors, diodes, and flat panel displays worldwide, defines a test method for identifying metallic elements present on the wetted surfaces of ultra-high purity (UHP) chemical delivery systems and components.

SEMI F115 Test Method for Determination of Metallic Elements in Wet Surfaces of Ultra High Purity Chemical Delivery Systems and Components

This test method is applicable to ultra-high purity chemical delivery systems and components. Examples of tests include valves, regulators, filters, mass flow controllers, piping, welding assemblies and face seal assemblies. This test method can also be used to detect contamination from an assembly or manufacturing site.

The aforementioned standard details the method of extracting and measuring the removable metallic elements with ultrapure water on wetted surfaces. This test method can also be used to evaluate the effectiveness of various washing or cleaning processes.

Ultra-high purity gases are widely used in the semiconductor industry. Ultra-high purity is generally defined as less than 100 ppb concentration for any volatile molecules such as impurity level or moisture.

While preparing this standard, the following SEMI standards were taken as reference:

  • SEMI E49.2 Guidance for the qualification of polymer groups used for liquid chemical systems in semiconductor equipment
  • SEMI E49.8 Guide to high-purity and ultra-high-purity gas distribution systems in semiconductor manufacturing equipment
  • SEMI F20 Specification for 316L stainless steel bar, forgings, extruded shapes, plate and tubing for components used in general purpose, high purity and ultra high purity semiconductor fabrication applications
  • SEMI F63 Ultrapure water guide used in semiconductor processing
