Abstract:
1. A method for the installation of semiconductor fabrication tools, comprising designing and assembling standard modules based on the semiconductor fabrication process requirements and the dimensions and configuration of the site where the semiconductor fabrication tool is to be installed; pre-assembling one or more such standard modules for the delivery of a plurality of gases from the installation site source of such gases to the semiconductor fabrication tool and support equipment, each such gases module comprising one or more manifolds, each manifold with a single inlet and a plurality of outlets and means for controlling and monitoring flow and pressure of a gas; pre-assembling one or more such standard modules for the delivery of a plurality of liquids from the installation site source of such liquids to the semiconductor fabrication tool and support equipment, each such liquids module comprising one or more manifolds, each manifold with a single inlet and a plurality of outlets and means for controlling and monitoring flow and pressure of a liquid; placing the standard modules in proximity to the semiconductor fabrication tool and support equipment; connecting the respective inlets of the gases modules to the installation site respective sources of gases and connecting the outlets of the gases modules to the semiconductor fabrication tool and support equipment; and connecting the respective inlets of the liquids modules to the installation site respective sources of liquids and connecting the outlets of the liquids modules to the semiconductor fabrication tool and support equipment.
