In addition, relative humidity is critical in photolithography, many photoresists require re-hydration after soft bake and before exposure. Low humidity will cause patterning problems (been there, done that).

Shane,
The most often referenced material is from SEMI standards. Semistandards.org
Whatever criteria you adopt, please note that it is of the utmost importance to ensure consistency. If temperature and RH vary, it will introduce unwanted variables in sensitive and complex processes. Another important point is to keep the RH relatively high (48%) to reduce ESD. If the RH and temperature fluctuate, you will encounter variation in your photo speed.
Hope this helps.

Hi Colleagues,
Is there a universal standard for microfabrication cleanroom, outlining the requirement of humidity, temperature, noise, etc?
Any documentation available?
Cheers
Shane
