Definitions
- the invention relates to a semiconductor factory with devices for the production of semiconductor devices.
- Vibration decoupling of vibration sensitive equipment such as e.g. an "imagesetter", possibly in the form of a “stepper”.
- the invention is based on the object to provide an improved semiconductor factory. This object is solved by the features of claim 1.
- the core idea is that at least a portion of the devices for fabricating semiconductor devices be within a cavity in a geological mass.
- This approach primarily makes use of the enormous "mass" of a geological mass.
- vibrations are many times smaller in comparison to buildings constructed on a conventional basis, as a result of which, in particular, expensive oscillation decoupling of vibration-critical devices for semiconductor production can be dispensed with.
- the variation in temperature is considerably lower compared to free created buildings. For example, in mountain tunnels, the temperature fluctuates throughout the year, usually not more than ⁇ 0.5 ° C. In contrast, in buildings in our latitudes, which are usually built on a bare ground, temperature fluctuations of 60 0 C are the rule.
- a geological mass should primarily concern a naturally occurring mass. However, it may also be an artificially produced mass by dumping large quantities of eg rock spoil, for example from tunneling. This can be artificial landfills of 10 m, 20 m, possibly even 50 m or more to reach. Already in such formations, the advantages of the invention can be used.
- a rock formation is advantageously part of a mountain.
- the cavity or cavern can be formed. It is advantageous if the cavity is for the most part in solid rock.
- the cavity is preferably hollow, in particular with a horizontal extension and advantageously enclosed by the mass from above.
- the cavity has a lateral access and then extends laterally into the mass. If it is a rock formation of a mountain, improvements in vibration by more than a factor of 10 can be observed when compared to buildings constructed on open ground. To keep the access and escape routes short, it is also advantageous if the cavity is as close as possible to a rock face.
- Access routes eg tunnels
- the access paths are designed such that they lead to different levels in the cavity, in particular without steps, with an only slightly perceptible slope.
- Access routes eg tunnels
- On vertical means of transport can be dispensed with in this way in the cavity possibly completely.
- At least vibration and / or temperature-sensitive devices for the production of semiconductor elements are located in the cavity.
- temperature-sensitive devices are meant in particular devices which should preferably operate at a constant temperature to achieve desired results.
- At least a part of the means for producing more than 10 m, preferably more than 50 m, more preferably more than 100 m is arranged inside the geological mass.
- a production line for semiconductor processing is located between an access to the cavity and the location where the vibration and / or temperature-sensitive devices are located.
- the cavity comprises a tube.
- Tubes are relatively easy to drive in solid rock, even with relatively large cross-sections.
- the cavity in vertical section perpendicular to its longitudinal extension has a cross-sectional area of> 50 m 2 , for example,> 100 m 2 , for large systems also> 150 m 2 or> 200 m 2 .
- vibration-sensitive and / or temperature-sensitive devices are primarily photolithographic devices, such as an imagesetter. Frequently, so-called “steppers" are used for the processing of large areas.
- stepspers are used for the processing of large areas.
- no vibrations should occur and a constant temperature should prevail.
- lines or channels are provided with a gradient in order to be able to convey corresponding liquids into or out of the cavern.
- Water that accumulates in the cavern so-called “mountain water”, but also possibly water for processes and / or sprinkler systems can be transported in this way without the use of pumps.
- Water that enters the cavern from the mountain mass can be discharged, for example, via a half shell in the cavern brine and / or on the ceiling of the cavern.
- an area for example an incision or an access tunnel
- an area for example an incision or an access tunnel
- extinguishing water possibly leaking to the outside in the event of a fire can be collected there.
- an incision a part of the semiconductor factory can be understood, which is indeed in the geological mass, eg the mountain and in the construction of the corresponding cavern also disclosed, but was filled up again with completion of the construction.
- an air supply and air removal are as far apart as possible, preferably different accesses to the cavern are used for it.
- a part of the cavern may be filled with e.g. a concrete wall to be separated.
- escape routes and other service areas may be formed in a section in which comparatively less overlap with e.g. Rock mass is present. These areas may e.g. are not used for the actual cavern formation, e.g. because the rock is too weak for the formation of the cavern. It is conceivable to design the cavern in a way, e.g. with a height gradient so that it gets higher and higher as it extends deeper into the mountain.
- the geological mass eg the rock of a mountain can be used as a thermal storage.
- the cavern should not be thermally isolated from the mountain.
- rock typically has a temperature of 13 ° C.
- the clean room should be kept at a temperature of 20 0 C, for example. Initially, the mountain will absorb a lot of heat, but only until a thermal equilibrium is reached. From this moment will be in case of failure of the Heating in the clean room, the geological mass, so for example, the rock, the mountain by releasing heat, the temperature in the clean room only slowly decrease. So there is enough time to repair the heater and you can completely do without an emergency heater.
- the employees devices can be provided which simulate a day-night rhythm. It can e.g. a lighting are used, which has a spectrum that is similar to that of the sun or at least similar, possibly even depending on the current time outside the semiconductor factory prevails. That According to how the spectrum of the Sun naturally changes during the day, this spectrum change can be replicated in the lighting in the semiconductor factory. It is also possible to attach screens showing the weather conditions outside. It is also conceivable that daylight is guided via optical devices into the cavern.
- Floors or shelves can be fixed in recesses in the wall of the cavern. But you can also rest on concrete walls. If the floors in the cavern are designed to be larger at the top, floors can rest on corresponding rock ledges. Furthermore, it is preferred if access routes to the cavern or to several caverns are designed so that construction traffic can move in and out unhindered during erection. For this purpose, access paths, for example, can either be made wide enough or several access tunnels can be provided. For example, an access tunnel is used for the approaching traffic and the other access tunnel for outgoing traffic.
- Recesses in the wall of the cavern can basically be used for a wide variety of types of infrastructure in the semiconductor factory, e.g. to form a lift shaft or for cable routing of various media.
- a sprinkler system can accordingly be used e.g. Section by section to be controlled.
- a ventilation system can in case of fire, e.g. be controlled so that in the area of the cavern where it burns, air and thus smoke is subtracted.
- the ventilation system may preferably be designed so that in such a case, an air flow can be generated, which stops the fire.
- Figure Ia is a schematic plan view of a
- Figure Ib a section through the semiconductor factory after
- FIG. 1a along the section line BB in FIG.
- Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view in a section through a further semiconductor factory along its longitudinal axis in a schematic representation
- Figure 3 shows an embodiment of a known
- FIGS. 1 a and 1 b a semiconductor factory 1 is shown, which is partly located in a rock ordinate 2 and partly in an area 3 outside of the rock ordinate 2.
- the semiconductor factory 1 comprises two parallel tubes 4, 5, which are introduced into the rock 6 of the rock premise 2, which is part of a mountain, for example.
- the tubes 4, 5 are connected at their end within the rock premise 2 with a connecting space 7.
- escape tubes 8, 9, 10 are provided for emergency.
- the tubes 4, 5 advantageously manufacturing equipment for the production of the semiconductor devices are housed, wherein, as well as in the connection space 7, a non-hatched area the clean room 4a, 5a, 7a and a hatched area a gray space 4b, 5b, 7b, in which the entire "supply logistics" can be accommodated, which is required to supply manufacturing units in the clean room.
- the clean room 4a, 5a, 7a can even be divided into different zones, as far as the clean room class is concerned.
- the highest cleanroom class is realized in the area 7a.
- the tubes 4, 5 can be entered, for example, at openings 17, 18 via access bridges 11, 12, which communicate with a building 13 arranged outside the rock massif 2.
- the building 13 can eg office units and Parking units included.
- the building 13 may for example have a dimension of about 70 mx 30 m.
- the connection space 7 at the end of the tubes 4, 5 is for example about 50 m long and has a similar cross-sectional area as the tubes 4, 5.
- the escape tubes 8, 9, 10 have a significantly smaller cross-sectional area. In this case, it is simply a question of employees being able to safely reach the area 3 outside the rock massif 2 in the event of a disaster.
- the connecting space 7 is preferably "hammer-like" attached to the tubes 4, 5, so each side slightly over each. This creates room for equipment in the gray room 7b.
- FIG. 1 A cross section of a known arrangement of a semiconductor factory 20 as it is erected on open ground is shown in FIG.
- a structure 22 of the semiconductor factory 20 is established on a very thick concrete foundation 21 with a thickness of at least 2 m.
- aeration means 25 are provided to maintain the desired clean room conditions in the clean room 23 . Air flows through the ventilation devices 25 into the clean room 23 and is drawn off via a perforated floor 26 into a raised floor area 27. In the clean room area are
- the lithography devices 30, as particularly vibration sensitive units, must be regularly placed on a specially designed foundation that is normally decoupled from the rest of the building 22.
- the clean room 22 with raised floor area 27 has, for example, a height of 3.5 m, the gray space area 24 including the foundation has a height of eg 12 m.
- the units of the semiconductor factory listed in FIG. 3 are arranged inside solid rock 6.
- a partially formed tube can be directly on the rock bottom without further elaborate foundations, e.g. Photolithography devices or other particularly critical device elements are arranged.
- means 28 and a ventilation device 25 can be positioned accordingly, but the outer shell forms the rock 6, with all the advantages of low vibration and temperature stability.
- the gray space 24 may extend as far as the rock 6.
- the clean room 23 and the double bottom 27 can be formed according to FIG. Under the raised floor pumping systems 15 can be placed directly on a rock bottom 16.
