1996 Electronics Industry Environmental Roadmap - Civil and ...

Appendix A
SIA/SEMATECH The roadmap also discusses thermal/thin film processing
contamination-free manufacturing and metrology. Regarding
metrology, the report notes that processes need to be moved on-line
(in-line, in situ) and notes the importance of data management systems
that are an integral part of process control, defect detection, and data
reduction methods.

Standards
SIA/SEMATECH New standards include software standards for CAD tools and operating
platforms, as well as hardware standards in areas such as supply
voltages, input/output level voltages, and other electrical parameters
relating to the off-chip world. These standards are of paramount
importance in that they allow/restrict hand-offs between design
phases. Smooth hand-offs avoid loss of design detail that can lead to
failure or lack of an optimal solution.

IPC Some of the more important include design standards, material
definitions, product specifications, reliability requirements, test
methods, and data standards.
A key consideration in standards development is the ability to rapidly
respond to innovation at no increased cost.
Another key area is the need for comprehensive material property data.
There are presently several databases for material property information.
However, data at important temperatures such as Tg and Tx are
lacking. Designers and model designers need these data.
End product acceptance methods must be eliminated and replaced by
end process controls which maintain a high confidence level through
the use of process control. For improved test accuracy, higher
productivity, and increased reliability, the industry must move forward
in automating the testing of critical product parameters.
Currently materials and reliability data are generated by directly
affected parties. The result is the data are often incomplete, not shared,
and not broadly accepted. As companies reduce research efforts, it
becomes vital to promote increased use of other resources such as
universities.
IPC also recommends development of a framework for electronic
development and delivery of standards.
