A practical "how to" guide that effectively deals with the control of both contamination and ESD This book offers effective strategies and techniques for contamination and electrostatic discharge (ESD) control that can be implemented in a wide range of high-technology industries, including semiconductor, disk drive, aerospace, pharmaceutical, medical device, automobile, and food production manufacturing. The authors set forth a new and innovative methodology that can manage both contamination and ESD, often considered to be mutually exclusive challenges requiring distinct strategies. Beginning with two general chapters on the fundamentals of contamination and ESD control, the book presents a logical progression of topics that collectively build the necessary skills and knowledge: Analysis methods for solving contamination and ESD problems Building the contamination and ESD control environment, including design and construction of cleanrooms and ESD protected environments Cleaning processes and the equipment needed to support these processes Tooling design and certification Continuous monitoring Consumable supplies and packaging materials Controlling contamination and ESD originating from people Management of cleanrooms and ESD protected workplace environments Contamination and ESD Control in High-Technology Manufacturing conveys a practical, working knowledge of contamination and ESD control strategies and techniques, and it is filled with case studies that illustrate key principles and the benefits of contamination and ESD control. Moreover, its straightforward style makes the material, which integrates many disciplines of engineering and science, clear and accessible. Written by three leading industry experts, this book is an essential guide for engineers and designers across the many industries where contamination and ESD control is a concern.

Contamination control standards and techniques for all phases of the production of high-technology products are spelled out in this applications-orientated guide. Practical cleaning methods for products and process fluids are accompanied by tips on selecting operations based on economy and efficiency. Explanations of contaminant measurement devices cover operation, error sources and remedial methods. Engineers will find vital data on contaminant sources, as well as coverage of operations and procedures that aggravate contaminant effects.

Contamination control is being used by more and more industries where the highest level of cleanliness and hygiene is of vital importance. This book covers the basic principles of contamination control and cleanroom technology from a holistic point of view. It deals with cleanliness and hygiene and their effects on the outcome of a process, reflecting the latest results from both scientific and practical points of view. The following topics are covered: contaminants and how they are measured cleanrooms and clean zones cleaning and decontamination cleanroom clothing the impact of people on cleanliness. Intended as an introduction to the area of contamination control, the text is also an excellent source of knowledge for people with both theoretical and practical experience. The Swedish version has been used for a long time within the Nordic countries as a basic training textbook within the pharmaceutical, microelectronics, food and beverage, optics and many other industries.

When industry try to train and utilize micro-contamination control engineers for its own industrial purpose, most of candidates for micro-contamination control engineering are college graduates from science and engineering majors that we have mentioned above section. Those fresh micro-contamination control engineers may not have experienced more than own majored field. Thus it is necessary to secure diversity for training micro-contamination control engineers from various science and engineering background. To achieve this goal, we need an experienced leader who has rich convergence knowledge and experience in various science and engineering area. To find a right trainer is the good starting point to build a successful micro-contamination control team. Most industry are betting their luck for their business on major functioning teams such as research & development team, manufacturing team and equipment development team and etc. It is true that core technology teams to produce a new product are such a conventional major areas such as I mentioned above. And the new product is preparing by those teams with lots of budget and significant numbers of people for years. However to make a reasonable profit through the mass production of new product is critically depend on micro-contamination control technology for the high valued products such as semiconductors and OLEDs. I believe that a few people in Korea can feel it and believe it. This fact is the secrete why Korea can be the number one in mass production of semiconductor and AMOLED.Japanese display industry started R & D of OLED much earlier than Korean display industry, but Japanese display industry could not success mass production of OLED. One of the Japanese display industry personnel told that climbing Fuji Mountain by hand-standing is easier than success of OLED mass production by Korean display industry. Eventually, Samsung SDI AMOLED Division has succeeded the world first OLED mass production and has been keeping leading position on mobile OLED business since 2006.It might be sound odd, as a Micro-Contamination Control engineer and Micro-Contamination Control team leader was related to the first success of OLED mass production. My opinion, that the success of Samsung SDI is partially due to the Micro- Contamination Control technology team work that enabled to build secure mass production process environment for OLED and to sustain the critical process environment conditions silently without proper recognition nor reward. Again, this story might be seemed to strange and sad. But it is true as long as I and my team members have been working earnestly and honestly in OLED mass production environment for past eleven years supporting the world number one OLED Company to keep its title so far. My small wish is that some insightful CEO or top level manager will recognize the value of Micro-Contamination Control Technology and the humble contribution of Micro-Contamination Control engineers. I believe that investing Micro-Contamination Control will be one of the best rewarding investment in IT industry and other industry that produce and sale high value and high quality products.
