Electronics:

The process of manufacturing semiconductors requires some of the finest-quality ultrapure water attainable. The quality of water used is critical in ensuring the best quality product. The most important standards are those of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI). The technology of the industry has advanced so rapidly over the past few years that it has redefined cleanliness requirements, specifically with regard to the need for quantitatively removing colloidal silica, particles, total organic carbon (TOC), bacteria, pyrogens bacterial fragments) and metal ions. Furthermore, the filtration system should also achieve the following:

• It should not contribute organic, particulate or metal ion contamination to the effluent stream
• It should not unload trapped contaminants or shed filter material
• It should be integrity testable to verify removal ratings
• It should have a low-pressure drop for long life and maximum economy.
