E03300 - SEMI E33 - Guide for Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

 1  Purpose1.1  The purpose of this Guide is make recommendations to help assure that manufacturing equipment used for manufacturing semiconductor devices will operate reliably without failures caused by electromagnetic interference (EMI). This desired characteristic is generally known as electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).2  Scope2.1  This Guide applies to equipment constructed for the purpose of manufacturing semiconductor devices. Equipment types include communications equipment, control equipment, processing equipment, metrology equipment, inspection equipment, automation equipment, and information technology equipment. Some terms are specialized to semiconductor facilities and equipment.2.2  The primary focus of this Guide is semiconductor manufacturing equipment used for manufacturing semiconductor devices, but this Guide may also be applied to the equipment used for manufacturing related products (e.g., flat panel displays [FPDs], microelectromechanical systems [MEMS]). Referen
