ESH Issues and News
The SIA National Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors
contains substantial descriptions of
future needs and issues for
the industry in the area of ESH. In particular, see:
The
Semiconductor
ESH News page summarizes recent news announcements of interest to the
semiconductor ESH industry has been created.
Organizations involved in ESH Issues
The Center for Environmentally Benign
Semiconductor Manufacturing is a university research
collaboration between the University of Arizona, MIT, Stanford, and UC
Berkeley. Funded by the NSF and SRC, the Center is devoted to
research and education on ESH issues in the semiconductor
industry.
The Semiconductor
Safety Association is a worldwide organization for safety,
health, and environmental professionals associated with the
semiconductor industry.
The SEMATECH Environmental,
Safety, and Health Thrust provides a number of resources.
See in particular:
The SEMI ESH
Division focuses on international EHS business and technical
issues, and disseminates information through technical and educational
programs; industry briefings and conferences; and joint programs with
the device industry.
The Semiconductor
Industry Association (SIA) provides information on industry
environment issues. In particular, see
Worker
Safey, Health, and Environmental Protection white papers,
dated June, 1997.
The
Electric Power Research Institute and
Sematech have formed the
EPRI Center for Electronics Manufacturing. Based at Sematech, the
center will address energy, productivity, and environment issues in
the electronics industry. See also the EPRI
environment group.
The Environmental Protection Agency
is an excellent information resource for all aspects of
environmental issues.
The Institute of
Environmental Sciences and Technology,
founded in 1953 as a not-for-profit association, is a
multidisciplinary, international society
in the areas of contamination control in
electronics manufacturing and pharmaceutical processes; design, test,
and evaluation of commercial and military equipment; and product
reliability issues associated with commercial and military systems.
A large number of
links for general safety, health, and other ESH issues is maintained
