12、ination Control Division Recomended Practice 016.2 The Rate of Deposition of Nonvolatile Residue in Cleanrooms IEST-RP-C016.2 1 SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS 1.1 Scope This Recomended Practice (RP) provides a uniform method and basis for defining the rates of deposition of nonvolatile residue (NVR) and othe

13、r forms of mo-lecular contamination on surfaces in cleanroms. 1.2 Limitations This RP may be aplied to the certification of clean-roms or for monitoring cleanroms to the extent agred upon by the parties involved. In contractual agrements, the customer selects the specific meas-urements apropriate to

14、 the cleanrom under consid-eration. Specific aceptance limits are also defined in contractual agrements. The requirements for the maximum rate of deposition of NVR should be specified by the user. The speci-fied requirements can afect the design of the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVA

15、C) system; the selection of suitable filters, and the selection of mate-rials users in the construction of the cleanrom. De-signers, builders, and users of cleanroms should consider specifying the maximum deposition rates as sugested by this RP if the deposition of NVR can afect the performance of p

16、roducts. The techniques for measuring NVR described in this document are not the only methods that can be used, but they should be considered because of their gen-eral use. The requirements for specific products and proceses should be considered in the selection of measurement methods. Products and

17、procedures contained in this RP may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equip-ment. This RP does not purport to adres al of the safety problems asociated with its use. It is the re-sponsibility of the user to establish apropriate safety and health practices and determine the aplicability of

18、 regulatory limitations prior to use of this RP. 2 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cleanroms are designed to protect products from contaminants that afect the performance of those products. Molecular contaminants, introduced by the air that enters the cleanrom or by emisions from items within the cleanrom, a

19、re deposited onto surfaces in the form of thin films or droplets; these types of de-posits are caled NVR. The molecular contaminants are typicaly transported in the air as gases or as liq-uid aerosols. This type of contamination is frequently refered to as airborne molecular contamination or AMC. Th

20、is RP is for use in defining the cleanrom envi-ronment and may be used in a contract with the agrement of customer and suplier. In adition, this RP is intended to complement standards on alowable NVR and molecular contaminants on products, such as IEST-STD-C1246. 8 Copyrighted material IEST-RP-C016.

49、C1246 is frequently used to establish the maximum alowable level of NVR that a product can have when removed from a cleanrom. Since that maximum amount represents the sum of NVR that was on the product when the product was brought into the cleanrom plus the amount of NVR that was aded while the product was in the cleanrom, the maximum alowable average deposition rate within the cleanrom is determined by the folowing equa-tion: NVRdt=NVRf! NVRi( )t(1) where: NVRd= the NVR that has deposited on the product while in the clean-rom, in units such as
