Semiconductor Manufacturing and EMI
Comply with SEMI E176 "Guide to Assess and Minimize Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) in a Semiconductor Manufacturing Environment"
High precision, nearly-complete automation, premium value of manufactured products, and their long-term reliability expectations - all requires uninterrupted operation, minimum variations in process, reliable measurements, and near-100% yield. EMI interferes with these requirements in different but similar ways in each segment of semiconductor manufacturing. SEMI E176 Standard provides specific recommendations to semiconductor manufacturers on acceptable levels of EMI and on EMI mitigation. Read more about SEMI E176 in this and this articles in inCompliance Magazine (both are in our Library). OnFILTER' products help semiconductor manufacturers to comply with SEMI E176 and reduce influence of EMI.

Common EMI Control Tools
Measurements: "You cannot manage what you cannot measure" (attributed to Peter Drucker). OnFILTER's unique power line EMI Adapters allow safe and accurate measurements of electrical noise on AC and DC power lines and ground with ordinary oscilloscope. With EMI Adapters you can assess EMI levels at every step of your process and instantly verify any improvements that you have made.
Servo and VFD Motors: These motors are the strongest EMI source inside equipment polluting the entire tool. Implementing servo motor / VFD filters not only reduces EMI throughout the tool but also improve reliability of motors' bearings.
