Regarding the safety evaluation of QSES, the "SEMI Standards" were first released in 1978 as safety guidelines for the design of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and they have been revised multiple times to the present day. The scope of the SEMI Standards covers a wide range of areas, including materials, hardware and software, equipment, gases, process chemicals, and environmental health & safety (EHS), primarily detailing each "specification, guideline, testing method, terminology, and implementation method." Among these, the guidelines required when shipping semiconductor manufacturing equipment are S2 and S8, while for liquid crystal manufacturing equipment, they are S26 and S8. **Features** - Safety guidelines for the design of semiconductor and liquid crystal manufacturing equipment - The current latest versions are S2 and S8, both from 2018 - The scope includes materials, hardware and software, equipment, gases, process chemicals, and environmental health & safety (EHS) - Specifications, guidelines, testing methods, terminology, and implementation methods are detailed - General guidelines required when shipping semiconductor and liquid crystal manufacturing equipment - Safety guidelines for warning labels and manuals *For more details, please download the catalog.*

Regarding the safety evaluation of QSES, the "QSES Safety Investigation Process" supports the submission of safety investigation reports when delivering equipment to semiconductor manufacturing plants. Safety investigations will be conducted based on S2 and S8. The investigation process after placing an order will be divided into phases from pre-design safety investigations to the creation of manuals/warning labels (Phases 0 to 4). In the final Phase 5, we will follow up on inquiries related to the report and the equipment in question. 【Features】 ■ Conduct safety investigations based on S2 and S8 regarding equipment safety ■ Safety evaluation services for manufacturing equipment (products) ■ The investigation process is divided into four phases ■ Total support for consultations on safety standards to be obtained, audits, report preparation, and application tasks ■ Consulting at various levels, including machinery, electrical, chemical, and electromagnetic compatibility *For more details, please download the catalog.

The "SEMI S2" outlines the minimum considerations that must be taken into account regarding the working environment, hygiene, and safety for equipment used in semiconductor manufacturing. The requirements cover areas such as chemicals, radiation, electricity, physics, mechanics, environment, fire, earthquakes, exhaust, ergonomics, as well as quality, documentation, and manuals. "The safety interlock should automatically bring the equipment or related parts to a safe state when activated. (11.3)" ⇒ Example: Opening the door during operation will cause the equipment to lose power. Additionally, the equipment will not regain power until the door is closed. "The safety interlock system must be fault-tolerant, (continued) (11.5)" ⇒ Fault tolerance means that it operates safely in the event of a reasonably foreseeable single failure. The above is just a small example from SEMI S2. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

"SEMI S6" is a guideline for environmental, health, and safety concerning exhaust ventilation. While "SEMI S2" includes regulations on chemicals, exhaust ventilation, and the environment, equipment that uses flammable or toxic gases and liquids in the process may require evaluation under "SEMI S6." In cases where toxic gases may be generated, simulations are conducted to confirm that there is no human exposure due to exhaust ventilation during normal operation, maintenance, and single failure scenarios. In cases where flammable gases may be generated, simulations are conducted to ensure that gases do not accumulate around electrical components. At QSES, we conduct tracer gas tests, CIH, and non-flammability tests related to S6. [Features] ■ Guidelines for environmental, health, and safety concerning exhaust ventilation ■ Equipment that uses flammable or toxic gases and liquids in the process may require evaluation under SEMI S6 *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

At QSES, we are quickly responding to the increasingly essential requirement of the "F47/F42 (Voltage Sag Immunity) Test" when delivering equipment to major semiconductor manufacturers, and we are providing testing and evaluation services. "SEMI F47" is a standard established within the SEMI standards regarding EMC, specifically defining the immunity tests for voltage dips and short-term power outages. Even in regions without EMC regulations, the submission of a "SEMI F47" compliance report may be required based on end-user demands. 【Features】 ■ SEMI F42: Testing method for susceptibility to voltage sags in semiconductor process equipment ■ SEMI F47: Specifications for voltage sag immunity in semiconductor process equipment ■ Support for equipment with large power capacity ■ Full support from countermeasures to report creation *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The "SEMI S8" provides more detailed ergonomic guidelines in addition to the 16 ergonomic requirements of the SEMI S2. Here is one example. "Section 8" specifies the display position. The height regulation from the floor to the centerline of the screen, excluding the touch screen for operators standing, is as follows. (8.1.1) ■ Maximum: 1470mm (58 inches) ■ Minimum: 1320mm (52 inches) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The purpose of "SEMI S10" is to establish general principles for risk assessment to identify hazards, estimate risks, and evaluate risks in a consistent and practical manner. Additionally, by using "SEMI S10," it helps determine the degree of risk and develop measures to control that risk. 【Example of Risk Assessment】 ■ Conducted a risk assessment at a wafer transport equipment manufacturer ■ Identified the hazard of crushing by robots within the wafer transport equipment and estimated it as risk rank 2C ■ Referenced SEMI S2 for risk reduction measures and added a door interlock function ■ Concluded with a risk rank of "none" *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

"SEMI S1" provides guidance on the content and format of equipment safety labels (warning labels) and gives examples of symbols to be used. Warning labels typically convey information about "specific sources of danger." [What Warning Labels Should Convey] ■ Severity of the hazard - Classified into four signal words: DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, and NOTICE - The classification method is also valid according to SEMI S10 risk assessment ■ Types of hazards - Types of hazards such as electric shock or entrapment - Represented by symbols, text, or both ■ Consequences of hazards - In the case of electric shock, burns or death may be considered, and these should be clearly stated ■ Methods to avoid hazards - The most effective measure against electric shock is to turn off the power, so this wording should be clearly stated *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

"SEMI S14" provides considerations that assist in assessing and mitigating the risks of fire and combustion by-products related to equipment and products. It applies to asset protection but not to human protection. In the "SEMI S10" risk assessment, the fire risk assessment for equipment is delegated to "SEMI S14." On the other hand, it is recommended to use the methods from SEMI S10 for estimating risks. As a fundamental premise, it identifies the three elements of fire: fuel, oxidizer, and ignition source. By removing one or more of these three elements, the fire risk can be eliminated. It provides detailed descriptions of the considerations to be taken into account when conducting risk assessments regarding fuel, oxidizers, and ignition sources. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
