| Abstract |
The characteristics of chemical hazards that are encountered in the electronics (particularly, the semiconductor) industry, as compared to other manufacturing industries, are described. The magnitude of the problem is illustrated by the large variety of highly dangerous chemicals used and released in the manufacture of optoelectronic and integrated circuit devices, the hazards posed to workers and the environment, and the difficulties and costs of counteracting them. The processes and chemicals involved in the fabrication of semiconductor-grade silicon, single crystal formation, integrated circuit devices, light-emitting diode and solar photovoltaic devices are presented. |
