Abstract:  This report from the ESHI002M project reviews the current state
perfluorocompound (PFC) technology development and implementation
and describes the semiconductor industry's efforts to reduce PFC
emissions. It documents pre-competitive information about
potential PFC emission reduction processes and technology
obtained from a survey of members of the International SEMATECH
Manufacturing Initiative (ISMI); the Semiconductor Industry
Association (SIA); the World Semiconductor Council (WSC); and
chemical, tool, and abatement device suppliers. The appendix
includes details about process optimizations, alternative
processes, and abatement technologies.
