二、行业洞察:半导体制造与环境控制的共生关系
半导体制造是当今世界精度最高、环境最敏感的工业流程之一。其生产环境远非普通“通风降温”所能满足,而是一套融合温湿度、洁净度、气流、微振动及化学污染物控制的尖端工程体系——即“受控环境”或“洁净室环境”。

Ⅰ. Project Background: Based in the Yangtze River Delta, serving cutting-edge manufacturing
A cross-border semiconductor company located in Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, is a key link in the domestic semiconductor industry chain from design, materials to manufacturing, packaging and testing. Jiaxing is located in northern Zhejiang and has a subtropical monsoon climate with distinct four seasons. The summer is hot and humid (with an average temperature of 28-35 ℃ and humidity often exceeding 70%), while the winter is cold and humid. This climate poses a serious challenge to the constant temperature, humidity, and cleanliness control of production environments. At the same time, the northern Zhejiang region is actively undertaking the spillover of the semiconductor industry from the Yangtze River Delta, focusing on characteristic processes and advanced packaging, and forming a regional coordinated industrial layout. The company is leveraging its location, talent, and supply chain advantages in the Yangtze River Delta to accelerate the localization and substitution of key links.
Ⅱ. Industry Insights: The Symbiotic Relationship between Semiconductor Manufacturing and Environmental Control
Semiconductor manufacturing is one of the most precise and environmentally sensitive industrial processes in the world today. Its production environment is far from being satisfied by ordinary "ventilation and cooling", but rather a cutting-edge engineering system that integrates temperature and humidity, cleanliness, airflow, micro vibration, and chemical pollutant control - that is, a "controlled environment" or "clean room environment".
Ⅲ. Starting from the essence of technology, Ruifeng deeply analyzes the inherent relationship between the environment and semiconductor manufacturing, and forms the following solution framework:
(1) Core correlation: Environment is the 'invisible process equipment' for semiconductor production
In the manufacturing of nanoscale chips, hundreds of photolithography, etching, and deposition processes are like the "fine carving" of the microscopic world. Even small fluctuations in environmental factors can cause significant losses to the entire batch of wafers.
1. Air cleanliness control - guarding the "dust-free battlefield" at the nanoscale
Technical correlation: Particles with a diameter exceeding 0.1 microns in the air are like "meteorite impacts" on circuits with a line width of 3-5 nanometers, which can cause short circuits, wire breaks, or graphic defects in the circuit.
Control requirement: Achieve ISO 1-5 ultra-high cleanliness, ensuring that the number of ultrafine particles per cubic meter of air is controlled at the level of units.
Solution implementation: Adopting a multi-stage combination of primary efficiency, medium efficiency, and high-efficiency/ultra high efficiency filters (HEPA/ULPA), combined with laminar air supply design, to form a stable and uniform unidirectional airflow, quickly eliminate particles, and ensure zero pollution settlement in the working area.
2. Precise control of temperature and humidity - the "sea fixing needle" for process consistency
Temperature control: Fluctuations within ± 0.1 ℃ may cause alignment deviation in photolithography, leading to interlayer misalignment; Simultaneously affecting the rate consistency of chemical reactions such as etching and deposition.
Humidity control: If the humidity is too low (<30% RH), static electricity can accumulate and break down the transistor gate; Excessive humidity can affect the performance of photoresist and accelerate metal corrosion.
Control requirements: The temperature should be kept at 22 ± 0.1 ℃, and the humidity should be maintained within the range of 45 ± 5% RH.
Solution implementation: High precision constant temperature and humidity units are selected, combined with variable frequency speed regulation and intelligent algorithms, to respond in real-time to changes in process heat load and ensure continuous stability of environmental parameters.
3. Airflow organization and pressure difference management - the "air lock defense line" for pollution isolation
Technical correlation: By using a positive pressure gradient (such as 5-15Pa), the airflow is directed from the high clean area to the low clean area to prevent cross contamination; Implement negative pressure control on contaminated areas such as chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) to curb the spread of pollutants.
Solution implementation: Based on precise air volume balance design, combined with constant air volume valve (CAV) and variable air volume valve (VAV) to achieve dynamic control, ensuring stable pressure and orderly airflow in various areas.
4. Micro vibration and noise suppression - the "silent foundation" of precision equipment
Technical correlation: When using equipment such as lithography machines for nanoscale alignment, micro vibrations can cause imaging blurring and positioning errors. The vibration source may come from fans, water pumps, or external environments.
Solution implementation: Select low vibration fans and pumps, equipped with vibration reduction bases and flexible joints, optimize duct layout to eliminate airflow resonance, and provide a "zero interference" operating environment for the equipment.
5. Control of gaseous molecular pollutants (AMC) - a "molecular filter" for invisible defects
Technical correlation: Trace amounts of acidic gases and condensable organic matter in the air can adhere to the surface of wafers, causing electrochemical corrosion or changes in film properties, leading to chronic performance degradation.
Solution implementation: On the basis of particle filtration, an integrated chemical adsorption filter is used to remove specific molecular pollutants in a targeted manner, ensuring the purity of process gases and the integrity of silicon wafer surfaces.
(2) Implementation of the plan: from equipment installation service providers to controlled environment system partners
1. Positioning upgrade: Transforming from a "ventilation and cooling service provider" to a "semiconductor clean space controlled environment system solution service provider", focusing on deep integration of processes.
2. Team building: Establish a professional engineering team covering semiconductor processes, cleanroom standards (ISO 14644), and precision control technology.
3. Collaborative cooperation: Work closely with cleanroom design institutes, general contractors, and automation system service providers to focus on core subsystems such as fresh air units (MAUs), fan filtration units (FFUs), efficient air supply outlets, and airflow organization.
4. Data validation: Demonstrate the outstanding performance of the system in terms of temperature and humidity accuracy, filter efficiency, wind speed uniformity, and vibration control through measured data.
5. Reliable design: Provide year-round uninterrupted operation guarantee, configure redundant backup and preventive maintenance system to ensure continuous stability of the system.
6. Energy saving optimization: Integrating heat recovery devices, variable frequency drives, and intelligent energy management to help customers achieve green and low-carbon operations.
7. Compliance certification: All materials and equipment meet special specifications for fire prevention, low precipitation, and corrosion prevention in the semiconductor industry, ensuring zero pollution of the system itself.
IV. Conclusion
Semiconductor production environment control is the culmination of multidisciplinary technology integration, directly impacting product yield, performance, and reliability. This project not only marks Ruifeng's successful entry into the high-threshold, high-value semiconductor field, but also demonstrates our ability to provide in-depth support for our customers' core processes - we are not only builders of environmental systems, but also indispensable value partners in the high-end manufacturing industry chain.
